My Bio
I’m a Junior Producer, I’m 29 and I work for a London Production company. I produce shorts myself and hopefully will progress to features soon, as soon as I get the finance for one! Up until then working in development to get new projects off the ground. Grew up in Manchester in the UK, and first started working in comedy production for UK television – ‘Spaced’ was the first production I worked on so very happy Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg now getting more recognition!
Why are you supporting The 1 Second Film project?
Think it’s a good idea, we need to find new ways of financing and not just from 3 or 4 financial institutions, and that the money eventually goes to a worthy cause is such a bonus.

Claire Broughton's Perfect Moment

If you had to choose a 'perfect moment' from your life to make into a one-second film, what would it be?

When I realized I’d fallen in love properly for the first time. And really knowing what it was about. Mushy…I know…but true. It’d probably be a Zach Braff type movie, but with a girl lead in it.

    This week, we finally got Varnish installed on our servers. Varnish helps our Drupal site performance by making better use of cache to serve up content (instead of the database), and will allow our site to handle a lot more anonymous visitors (hopefully!).

    We are still making other site improvements. The site is still pretty slow, and we also need to improve performance for logged in users. Basically, there is a lot of tech to do. We don't have the resources to do everything, but we want to make  sure we make the most of what we have.
