Longer article about our film being a national finalist.

NOTE: This article makes it look like I worked on the TV show Auf Wiedersehen Pet. I didn't. I worked on the 40th Anniversary and the merchandise. I tried to make this clear in the interview, but word counts often mean removing throat clearing and context.
