Maureen says: “I was very privileged to have organised the Liverpool premiere of Jimmy’s first cfeature, Priest. It’s wonderful that sixteen years later we’re screening it as part of Clapperboard presents... with Jimmy participating in a Q and A”.

Jimmy says: “I’m a great admirer of Maureen Sinclair and what she has achieved through her dedication and commitment to the Clapperboard Youth Project, with very little funding. It’s a wonderful creative way of empowering young people and giving them an opportunity that most of us never had”.
