about the filmmakers --->

Lindsay Pollock (b.1980)
Starting out on a home-video camera, and editing tape-to-tape on VHS, Lindsay has been making films independently since 1999 - principally with long-term friend and collaborator Sam Lawlor. We'll Never Meet Childhood Again is their first feature-length documentary.

Other video work has included stop-motion animation; projections for the pop-band Hot Chip; collaboration with Lawlor on the latter's documentary about the lost world of lighthouse-keeping (The Last Lighthouse Keepers - screened at the Portobello Film Festival 2006); and promotional videos for both The Visual Learning Foundation (London-based arts education charity) and Health Aid Romania (the charity featured in We'll Never Meet Childhood Again).

Lindsay studied film at the London College of Communication (formerly LCP). His graduation film Stiff was screened at the NFT and ICA. Lindsay also produces a comic book, Moochowski, with fellow alumni Tom Brass - www.moochowski.com

As well as collaborating with Lindsay on numerous films, notably the documentary We’ll Never Meet Childhood Again, Sam has worked as an editor, film-maker, oral history interviewer and video workshop teacher throughout the London area.
