INTERVIEW .......................................... MYbrighton: Eva Riley Director and screen writer Are you local? I’m originally from Edinburgh, but I’ve been living in Kemp Town since 2012. My boyfriend moved here to do a PhD at the University of Sussex. I think I’d only been to Brighton for half a day before that and I hadn’t seen my flat when we moved in, but I’ve loved it since we got here. I studied at the National Film and Television School in London and would come home to Brighton at the weekend. Since I graduated I’ve been living here full time. Is Brighton a good place to be a filmmaker? I spend most of my time writing and I find it’s a peaceful place to work. There isn’t tons of directing work to be had, but I’ve just shot my first feature film here. The main locations were in Woodingdean and Portslade. I love the different areas in and around Brighton, but I also chose to shoot it here so that I could sleep in my own bed. The film is called Perfect Ten, and it’s about a teenage gymnast who has lost her confidence. When we were looking for actors, we met a lot of young people in gymnastics clubs and youth clubs in the city and around the south east. We found one of the lead actors in the crowd at a boxing match in Hastings. I’m very passionate about casting people who haven’t been to drama school; there is so much talent out there. Lots of the young people I got to know were extras in the film. It was nice to involve local people. Are you always walking around Brighton scouting for locations? Not so much for locations but definitely for ideas. I used to work in a café in town, and there were always interesting people coming in and passing by. I would sit in the window seat, people watching. What do you like most about living in Brighton? These past few weeks I’ve been editing my film in London, and I love the feeling of coming home on the train. It’s fresh and airy. I’m very much at home here, and I can cycle everywhere. I’m not that much of a party girl. For eating out, I like Planet India and Terre à Terre, and the Hand in Hand is my favourite pub. What do you like least about the city? That there are so many homeless people; I feel so bad for them. It’s a place where you can see the disparity between rich and poor. It’s a great place to be if you have money, but it’s not so nice for everyone. And train fares to London drive me insane. Where would you live if you didn’t live here? I’d like to live in Glasgow. I love Scotland. I like the culture, the people and the politics. Glasgow is quite a happening place with lots of art and culture and a good film industry. Things like Netflix, Amazon and the renewed interest in TV are putting money back into the industry. It feels like not a terrible time to be making a living as a filmmaker.
