Danny Lilwall is an amateur filmmaker who started out by making POV films of his motorcycle rides... But when boredom with that form set in, he raised his ambitions, studied endless online film-making tutorials and took an approach more in keeping with filmmaking conventions. His most recent effort - "Uganda By Motorcycle" - shows just how far he's come in crafting a well-paced and structured travel documentary.
