Well what’d'ya know I am back, after getting snowed in and frozen out through a grim January and bleak Febuary. The suns back and I am no longer feeling that life is chopping my hands off and then demanding I play the piano….

There’s a little good news regarding the film as well ( that freakstone around my neck) :-) It’s in a couple of Festivals – amazing – The London International Documentary Festival and the Boston Underground Film Festival. I’m pleased it’s a start and a good one, So lets hope that the ever expanding pile of “not selected” letters slows down a bit – Oh and I have joined a circus WTF….

Hi for all 27 of you that read this blog – thanks – this is the last entry for a while.

I need to regather my strength and enthusiasm after a year of struggle

The screening of the film at the Curzon Soho has been cancelled by them, with an indeterminate promise of a reschedule.

I am ending this blog as all my attempts to get this film to a wider audience via the film and TV industry have failed, it maybe because it’s a crap film – though you’ll never know – I may release the whole movie online at some point….

Bye

So I couldn’t think of anything to write over Christmas so i didn’t ….but it’s new year and I feel I ought to try.

damn it’s cold …..really cold, like , I spilt some water on the garden path and it froze as it hit the ground. I have decided to keep the Christmas tree for the rest of the year – with it’s decor of crows feathers and rose petals, lights and baubles it looks nice so I’ll keep it at least till I am bored by its niceness and then I’ll plant it in the botanical gardens at night – kind of urban flora attack. Still blundering into walls with the film as the powers that be think it’s not redemptive enough (wtf…!) There’s the screening at the Curzon cinema in London on the 25th that may well be the only time it’s ever seen in this country. Ah t’was ever thus the outcast artist etc etc …. I am going to post a picture of the Xmas tree ….one day …probably around July.

This is used to attach new leaves to the trees in spring ....

Meanwhile heres a photo of some scaffolding in some trees ….

Oh and I didn’t win the award at the DOdo fest …some good looking young actor in a wheelchair won it  – I think …but thanks for the votes.

Godammit….I forgot to put tags on this post, so here it is again…The edit is finished, at last, I have a movie – the cut is complete all the bits are in the order I want and the story is there and it’s great. That’s what I have been doing these last couple of weeks, stuck in a dark room organising little bits of video. So as soon as I can get the Audio dub (sound mix on the soundtrack) and the colour grade done, it will be ready to exhibit. Starting in Australia. And here’s a funny little tale to tickle you with. In the ’special thanks to:’ section of the credits I thank a certain Jonny Greenwood (yes, he of Radiohead fame) because he wrote and recorded some music for the film – Jonny is a big fan of the banjo and he had recently taken it up and was happy to try and write and play some music for me, which he did, unfortunately he ran out of time and his banjo playing was not quite as brilliant as his guitar playing – so we had to abandon the attempt. Nevertheless I thank him for his support and no, you will never hear the banjo tracks he wrote and recorded…
