A series of brief encounters

A director who has come for one of the networking events at the festival. He is interested in meeting writers to collaborate with as he's looking for his next project. He's also an actor and would be interested in working on other people's projects.

A man who has come to see his friend's film screening a bit later.

A trumpeter who's performing in one of the pieces showing a little later in the day. The others in his group are setting up.

A film-maker who's film is included in the showcase of films.

A man who's daughter is a member of a theatre company that has produced a site-responsive guided individual theatre experience for the festival. He is waiting for his turn to participate in the production. He makes the comment he thinks people don't just want to be entertained anymore, they want to be challenged and engaged.
