Shane Meadows claims that making small budget movie makes him feel alive.
After the success of This Is England and Somers Town the director is currently working on Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee as part of the five day feature project with Warp Films.
In an interview with The Observer the filmmaker said: "People might say, 'Oh, it's just them having a laugh', but it's more than that. I'd like to knock one of these out every couple of years between bigger-budget stuff.
"There's no one to fetch you a coffee or wipe your arse when you're doing three jobs on set at once. It keeps you real, keeps you alive."
"Obviously no one's going to make Star Wars, but there's just enough money to encourage freethinking creativity.
"Larry Clark, the American director who made Kids, has already signed up to make one. He rang Warp and said, 'I've seen what Shane and Paddy are doing, let's have a go', and he's bloody well doing it."
Meadows made his feature debut with Twenty Four Seven back in 1997 but it was This Is England that shot him to prominence.
