I've had an interest in PIFs for about four years, since the day I walked into the reception of my student accommodation and saw a gathering around the reception desk. They were talking to a receptionist about the PIFs they'd seen on a Twitter page. I'd seen PIFs in school, and I had a vague idea of what they are, but no idea of their complete history. The following year, still thinking about PIFs, I wrote an essay (one of the favourite ones I wrote in my four years) about the music used in a PIF that was less than 2 minutes long. I'm not sure how I did it as I had very few sources. I gathered information from news articles, scrappy short book paragraphs, and related book topics. This essay is when I first thought it would be good to have one complete source about PIFs. It wasn't until a year or so later, in 2020, when I thought I'd put all that spare time I suddenly had to write my public information films book. I sat many nights trying to draft it out, but I couldn't get it to flow. So, I abandoned it when I went back to university in the autumn of 2020. I finished my degree in 2021, scrapped the book and came up with this instead, The Public Information Films Resource. I'm much happier with this project, and I hope you will be happy with it too.
