A brave statement from a humble man who does what he says he will do. Mark Cleary started S+S early this century and made it into the world’s largest short play festival with the mantra of ‘making the world a more creative place 10 minutes at a time . We’ve talked about a S+S Film Festival for a few years – now it’s arrived with the first gala finale in Hollywood later this year. It was my great pleasure to be one of the judges of festival 1,heat 1.
