Many people dream of making a movie, but Col Spector has actually done it. What’s more, Someone Else, Col’s first full-length movie, which he wrote as well as directed, has a top-notch cast with the likes of Stephen Mangan, Susan Lynch and John Henshaw. It is almost entirely self-funded and set in all of Col’s favourite northwest London haunts, including his own flat.

Col is tickled pink. He has spent the year walking the walk on the red carpets of film festivals from Budapest to Palm Springs, picking up the coveted Variety Critics Choice at the Czech Republic’s Karlovy Vary Film Festival along the way. Now with its run finished in the UK, Someone Else is soon to be released internationally.
