Yay! I went and saw "Troll Bridge" last night, along with a bunch of Discworld fans. :) My only regret is that the director was there, but I didn't know who he was, so I didn't say hello because a lot of other films were on, and I didn't want to assume he was there for "Troll Bridge". Oh. :(

But putting that aside, it was great! Lots of love for Snowgum Films. The film was very cool. :cool: I liked the depiction of Cohen and the trolls. The film stuck pretty closely to the story, which was great. Everyone laughed and had a good time. The song for the credits was very good, too! :)

There one thing I'm not sure about, though: why did the organisers of the festival put this film along with short thrillers and short horror films? :confused: It's not either. It doesn't really fit in either category. Maybe whoever created the program looked at the blurb, saw "fantasy", and thought along the lines of "Oh! Fantasy! Right - like Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and such. Let's put it in with thrillers and horror." :rolleyes:

Oh, well ... I'm just happy that it finally, finally got a showing. Yay! :)

(Incidentally, Dug ... why am I a lucky, lucky, lucky...? ;) Hasn't the film made it to the UK yet?)

Aw. :( Well, all good things come to those who wait! :) Not to worry - I'm sure the DVD will be there soon, and it will be all the better for the wait! :)

Tony, I hope everyone in Llanelli enjoyed the film. :)
