Whoa…it’s been a while since I posted and to tell the truth, I can’t really say why. There’s been slow and painful progress on this film but I have finally sorted out a way to finish it, thanks to the kind folks at Image Creative in London who are letting me finish the edit and online so it can make it to the Perth Festival and then on to great things.

I received a small grant from Screen South a UK govt film fund. Who saw the potential in this film where other funding organisations haven’t - It’s not something I would recommend to anyone to do - this independent film making thing. It’s fucking soul destroying (good thing I don’t have a soul eh …). I have had endless stupid meetings and conversations on the phone but to no avail, but it doesn’t matter because I WILL FINISH.

All creative endeavours especially those outside the mainstream are tough and when you scan the shelves of your local blockbuster at the billions of dollars invested in movies, well, not so many are good. This is an industry and it produces product aimed at creating profit. Funny how most of the really profitable projects are often the least supported and recognised. Star Wars for example (are you listening George Lucas - I know he’s an avid reader of my blog…) was thought to be a loser…oh and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest and Hoop Dreams. so what does anybody know ?

answers on a postcard please.
