filming locations

Hi all.
I thought I'd add my two cents worth as to filming locations. Despite the IMDB most of it was actually filmed in Cardiff, South Wales.
I only received this today - my friend bought it so he's lent it to me - but flicking through it fast, I recognized (and remembered) the Chapter Arts Centre in Canton in Cardiff doubling for interiors and exteriors, the New Theatre lanes, etc.
Incidentally I have a special reasdon for watching it as I was an extra in it, and so was my then-girlfriend.
So, if anyone sees it before me, and they see a curly-haired Italian-looking bloke with a very tall and gorgeous dark-haired girl a few years younger arguing down an alley, or in a theatre right next to Kim Cattrall, t'was me.

BTW, I just spent much of the last few weeks filming the Dr Who christmas special, so Cardiff is still obviously a cetre for film and tv making!
Ciao.

Was some of it shot near the Truman Brewery in East London?

IT WAS DEF THE JAM FACTORY AS I PLAYED THE MONSTER AFTER THE ORIGINAL ACTOR LEFT THE FILM AFTER A WEEKS SHOOTING AND I THEN TOOK OVER AND SPENT TWO WEEKS IN PROSTHETICS SHOOTING AT THE JAM FACTORY IN LONDON. WE DID NOT SHOOT ANYTHING IN CARDIFF ?

I emailed CHAPTER and they gave me this reply:

"It’s the first time I’ve heard of it but I’ve sent around a few emails and I’ll see if we can find out for you.

Thanks"
