Anyone who tells you that breaking into the creative industries is easier these days than it used to be is half-lying. Access to indie publishing, a plethora of resources and the self-promotion opportunities of social media might make it easier for writers and artists to spread themselves around, but competition is ten times as fierce as it once was and standing out can be almost impossible. This is particularly true in the case of filmmaking, more limited than any other medium in terms of cost and practicality. One man who knows this well is Third Contact director Simon Horrocks.
