Little Wonder feature IMDb founder on Screen Stockport

Following our trip to Bristol to interview Col Needham, the founder and CEO of the Internet Movie database (IMDb) we are pleased to finally post the feature on the Screen Stockport website http://screenstockport.co.uk/video_episodes.html

Joe has worked very hard on the 45-minute piece which uses two HD cameras to capture the conservational feel. The interview contains some real gems of information about Col such as that he used to sell computers in Stockport's Curry's store and he was so scared watching Jaws at the Romiley Forum, he was afraid to go into his local swimming baths. Still, he was only nine years old at the time!

We'd highly recommend this exclusive interview to any fans of film as it is a truly remarkable story of   how one man's passion can turn into a global phenomenon. Joe certainly found meeting Col a completely inspirational experience and we hope you enjoy it too!
