Alex Fitch talks to director Tom Guerrier about his short film Cleaning Up, featuring Doctor Who stars Mark Gatiss and Louise Jameson as a hitman and his landlady; and to Adam Hamdy, co-director, and actors Jay Sutherland, Gavin Molloy, Simon Burbage and Lee Ravitz, about Pulp, a caper movie set in the small press comic community. Both films are starting to tour festivals and Alex talks to their creators about the making of each project and their ambitions to get the films to larger audiences.

Cleaning Up will be screening next on 10 January 2012 at the London Short Film Festival at the Riverside Studios, Hammersmith. The LSFF runs from 6 to 15 January 2012, celebrating the very best in contemporary British short filmmaking and providing a snapshot of the UK film scene. More information on the LSFF website.

Pulp receives its UK premiere on 2 February 2012 at SFX Weekender Sci-Fi convention, Prestatyn Sands, Wales.
