Tonight Dynamo are Back, Super-8

Tytler,
And I Cried, video, 5 mins.
We live in a world besieged and besotted by image. Everyone it seems
wants their 15 minutes and plenty of people will do whatever it takes
to get a piece of the celebrity cake. And I Cried is a film about
wishing to be a movie star. Being a star is about shining bright, a
brilliant flash of light against the backdrop of a velvety black night
sky. And I Cried is an exploration of our obsession with the
star and the image.
