- Ah, the good old days… so much more complicated to shoot a 6min story. Now we do it on our phones!
- ‘Some Folks’ Folk’ was filmed in 16mm in 1986… It was a first production for Peter Aquilina and I as we set up Sphinx Productions.
- Although I scripted the doco (a new thing in those days) and Peter edited, Friends Film Productions helped me direct and produce it.
- Thanks to Heather Williams, Chris Lynch, Mathew Kelly and Roland Smith. This project was sponsored by P. Tilli & Assoc.
- Of course many thanks go to Iris Jones and members of the Hills Folk Club without whom the whole thing would not have happened. Iris and I were folkie-friends so what better introduction to 16mm for me than a dramatised documentary!
- If anyone is interested in watching the finished film on You Tube, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHXCMRlfplA40m

Perth Words... exploring possibilities. 
The video had me at folk music. What a great program!
