My name is Gavin Cruickshank (born 17th Nov 1983) and I have donated a penny or two to The 1 Second Film. One of my favourite actors is fellow Scotsman Alan Cumming, and it was through his listing on the IMDb that I heard about this project. I have worked on a number of student films before and I use my camcorder regularly, but I've never made anything for release. My main interest is radio broadcasting, which was sparked off at university and I now work for a hospital station at the weekends. During the week I'm a civil servant in the benefits office. I have been seeing my girlfriend Sarah since October '04, altho' we live miles apart now. I don't think she understands my obsession with all things technical, but few people do! Best of luck with the film and I hope I don't have to pay to see it...I'm a big fan of Alan Cumming and when I read he'd put his name down for this, I decided to do the same. It's a very worthwhile cause and I hope that it achieves all it sets out to do and more.
