New on 4oD: First Cut, Rules of Seduction

If you were in the pub yesterday evening (as was your correspondent) having a post-work pint or just out with your mates then you'd have missed first time director John Farrar's documentary Rules of Seduction shown in the indecently early 7.35pm time slot. An investigation into the techniques of the Pick Up Artist the programme follows PUA wannabee Ian at his first bootcamp where he learns basic skills including maintaining eye contact, getting girls' phone numbers and presumably not coming across as a creepy weirdo. As Time Out said in their preview (not online sadly):

It's a great little film: there are many more experienced directors who could learn a thing or two from Farrar about the construction of a good documentary.

High praise indeed from our friends at Time Out.
