Underground shorts film maker - Jeff Keen

"Keen started making films in the late 1950s, when he was 37. His muse and wife-to-be, Jackie Foulds, was attending college in Brighton as an art student, and Keen, then working as a gardener for Brighton council's parks department, was running a film society. He recalls his decision to become a film-maker with characteristic nonchalance. "Looking back, I didn't really think about a trajectory. I just asked to borrow a camera. I always worked with borrowed cameras. Once I started filming, I just had to carry on. I couldn't stop. It was natural."
