Well, I've just shot the interview. Despite being a person that's not entirely comfortable seeing himself on screen, it turned out ok, thanks to some good friends.
Now I have to edit all the good bits together and get it out to the USA. I doubt I will make the final but, but you've got to be in it to win it.
Thanks for the questions too! I've definitely integrated them into the answers. (if that makes any sense at all!)
