With the London International Screenwriter's Festival Approaching, I thought I would share some of my thoughts, news and opinions with the world about the world of screenwriting, story and the film industry as it stands...
Currently, my mood is one of nervous, cautious excitement. My first professional short film as Writer/Director, entitled " The Stranger", is tentatively scheduled for release just before Christmas. We had a lot of fun shooting it back in June and it's been a bit of slog to get it done around all our jobs but, providing I can sign off on the final cut next Monday then we're in the home stretch. We still need music and sound design to be completed but it's nice to be able to see the light. I thought I would attach some production stills here so that the world could see how much fun we had!
In other news, my company INITIATIVE FILM AND TELEVISION wrapped principle photography on the first of our "Camcorder Madness" series of short films. Entitled "Death Game" and directed by first time director Phillip A Biggs with Cinematography by ME!, it's definately been a lot of fun and the first cut is already coming together... we're excited to show the world the film sometime in NOVEMBER, so watch this space!
In short then, this is what I believe will bring the sadness of British Film back out of a deep hole. Short or feature films, like Colin (2009) or Open Water or The Blair Witch Project, that show the development of young movie makers and give them the opportunity to get discovered. My advice, don't go begging for an agent because the proof is in the pudding. Make a movie, if it sucks, make it better next time. Learn, grow and HAVE FUN... because that's what this crazy business is all about...
