superdave

david is such an interesting guy and ive got hours of really great footage of him. on wednesday, after the club closed i followed dave as he walked from deptford up to point hill where he sleeps. its a walk that he claims to have done just over 700 times. when we reached his bench he showed me how he sets up his bed for the night and then we chatted for some time about various things from the establishment to families. you come to realise that he is a happy man living how he does, and its a choice he's made. he has a very simple life and doesnt need anything more than what he's got. i learned that he gets up in the morning and cleans up rubbish around blackheath tea hut, and in return he gets a cooked breakfast and a fiver. then he spends the day at the 999 club where he can get anything he needs to eat or drink and in the evening if he needs another drink the tea hut are very generous. unlike a lot of homeless people he doesnt drink alcohol, he spends the little money he does have on cannabis, which he claims keeps him sane, which i highly doubt, but as long as he's happy...

i think this films gonna turn out really good.
