Thoughts for the day

France

It’s been a while since I have spent time over at mum and dads little farm house in France.  Things have changed here.  Though their holding largely remains unchanged, the roads have been modernised and the local neighbourhood has grown.  Sadly the most exciting thing for me is that Pete next door has had broadband put in and allows me to use his wireless connection.

My plans then?

Are actually to do a little bit of relaxing where I won’t be kept awake.  We have three or four scripts under development at the moment and I would like to break the back of at least one of them. Somebody I have a lot of trust in has suggested that we should also be selling some of these. My biggest problem with that is how attached I get to tem and the characters as we go along.

I could tell you then I’d have to kill you

At this moment in time I’d like to think that No Balls will be a one off.  I don’t want it to be the type of film that I always make.  Now don’t get me wrong, I do love it.  I love that it makes so many people laugh, and that so many people are excited about the project.  I almost convinced that this will be the one film in my life that has that effect. It’s just that there are other places that I want to explore.  Other darker places.  I want to look into people and represent them.  I want to go back in time and show a time past in splendour.  I want to reach into the deepest places of my mind and open them up.  I also want to re-invent and breath life into my childhood hero’s.  One from a “British book for boys” and another cult classic film from seventies America.

This week though?

We are going back to the Second World War and looking at part of the “Nemesis Universe”.  Be warned, this one is a doozey.

Do I feel lucky?

I certainly feel that I’m doing the right thing with my life and there is a capability and a heavy weight of expectation.

About this Blog!

Well, not really.  but I hadn’t thought to update until a realised a friend had been having a butchers!  It’s pretty tough updating right now because whilst I’m working hard on getting the film put together it’s nigh on impossible for me to openly discuss whats gone on recently and what is going on at the moment.  Needless to say I’m hoping to announce a new partnership which I believe will make the film happen.

In the meantime..

We are close to agreeing a few more music video’s and my photography is cumming on in leaps and bounds along with a multitude of new sript ideas, concepts and outline drafts.   I’m hopping that we will look back and remember these hard times with a smile and a foundness only time can give.

Alfa Heaven

My little alfa 156 met it’s maker a few weeks ago.  We all have painful whiplash, but we are surviving.  It’s just a shame that I had to loose a car that I was so found of…. I’ll post some photo’s.

Until then!
