Thoughts for the day

Moving On

Well, there have been some delays in the film, mostly due to circumstances outside of my control.  But these things have now been dealt with and we are moving things forward, hopefully more rapidly then before. It’s infuriatingly frustrating, however it is pointless getting angry or letting these things get to you.  That is in fact how you loose track of the important things in your life and the project.

In the meantime…

Tom And I have put together a show-reel of work that should hopefully impress at least a couple of people.

And Tomorrow?

We start moving on.  My hope is that it will be a very good day.

It’s been a long while

And a busy one, though more stressful now then anything I’ve ever had to work on before in my life.  I very much doubt that my ulcer is going to calm down any time in the near future.  It’s a very long process and often wrong decisions, bad timing and lack of proper knowledge can be damaging.  I’m still as confident as ever about how good the film will be, it’s just more stressfull and taking so much longer then I could ever have expected.

So whats the story?

Lots of interest in casting, lots of interest in the project over all just no urgency from anybody.  People just take an intolerably long time to do anything. But the only person blamable for this I suppose is me.  There is only one person that can drive this project further forward it would seam.

Next?

Just waiting for a couple of phone calls that could very well be game changers.  And it’s the waiting that is killing me.

Making Movies

It’s not as hard as I thought it could be now that we are on project “No Balls” full time.  What is interesting is just how tired one becomes. The hours make it physically hard whilst the sheer number of mini-decisions and thinking are just exhausting. So I’m tired, but never have I felt that I’m so alive.  I have to pinch myself on the odd occasion just to make sure its really happening.  But it is.

None Disclosure

There is a real limit to the things that I can talk about now that we are deep into the film making process, the script has been developed way past my origonal expectations, the production team greater then we might have hoped for and this week we start casting, or priliminary casting.  It’s a beyond exiting period in my life.  All good people, all good.
