This April sees the inaugural Homeless Film Festival, a nationwide turning of the spotlight back on to a problem that’s getting bigger and runs deeper, than ever before - and it’s all down to Notts and Manchester collective, Donkey Stone. We spoke to Jamie Rhodes about its aims and ambitions...
Marcus Alton - we wouldn't say he's the most dedicated fan in the world. But he's in the top one.

Head honcho Tim Smith manages to drag his head from the edit suite long enough to spell out his masterplan…
