Lord Mayor meets stars of new Dylan Thomas film.

SWANSEA Lord Mayor Cllr Mair Gibbs has been meeting the stars behind a new film about Dylan Thomas.
Swansea University lecturer Binda Singh's play Ugly, Lovely Night is being adapted for the big screen by independent company BJB Productions.
It is hoped the film will raise the profile of Swansea both locally and in America.
On Friday, August 26th, Mr Singh was joined by the film's producer and director Brian Thomas  as well as actors James Fears and Dave Fellows on a visit to the Lord Mayor's Parlour.
Seasoned actor and playwright Mr Singh was born and raised in Swansea and having appeared in numerous productions returned to the city to lecture in Media and Communications at Swansea University's School of Arts.
The campus is the background for the film which follows the story of an American student, played by James Fears,  who visits Swansea to solve a family riddle and ends up meeting Dylan Thomas's ghost.
The spirit of Swansea's favourite son is played by 45-year-old Briton Ferry actor Dave Fellows.
The film's producer and director Brian Thomas used to work for Disney.
Locations for the film include Cwmdonkin Drive, Swansea's seafront and Austin University, Texas, which houses the largest collection of Thomas's writing.
Cllr Gibbs said: "I hope that this project will help put Swansea on the map. I wish Mr Singh and all those involved in the production every success."
