Jaywick was the location of a number of family holdays in the early 1950s when sea front chalet bungalows were rented and I have fond memories . My wife and I have recently revisited the Brooklands Estate to see what it is like now and came to see the film last night to see how you had portrayed it. I understand the ethos of the film and although I would perhaps have liked to have seen a little more explicitly the actual houses and streets I was gripped by the people you did show and their situations, both happy and more often sad. The cinematography and music were superb.
We recently spent a few hours in Weston-Super-Mere and only a few streets from a very pleasant sea front the streets are full of drug rehabilitation clinics, strange ministries and tattoo parlours. As was said during the Q & A Jaywick/Clacton are not unique. There is something about seaside towns.

Thanks for your comments David - we've had lots of nice feedback after last night, it was fantastic to see it in a packed cinema and with the film's protagonist there too.
