   Paint Drying, rated U, is a 2016 film that was produced, directed, and shot by Charlie Shackleton, to protest film censorship in the UK and the cost to independent filmmakers. The film contains 10 hours & 7 minutes of white paint drying on a brick wall, forcing the BBFC to watch all ten hours to give the film an age rating classification. He initially shot 14 hours of 4K footage and opened a Kickstarter to pay the BBFC's per-minute rate for as long as possible. It raised £5,936 from 686 backers.
