Good News!

I'm pleased to announce that 2 out of the 3 projects I submitted to Screen West Midlands Investment Fund have got through to the next full application stage.

One is my  feature idea Finders Keepers which has an established producer and script editor attached. The other is an exhibition project which I cant really say much more about it other than it too has a lot of talent attached.

I'm also currently rewriting the short another producer is interested in plus a few other top secret bits and pieces.

More as it happens!

No news is good news?

Still waiting to hear on a number of bids and projects that are being looked at by various people both here and abroad.

As usual its a bit like watching paint dry.

Still no news on the rescheduled dates for Skunk but I know the producers are quite busy finishing off some other things so hopefully the momentum will pick up again soon.

In the meantime I've been converting my hacker/gamer/sci-fi idea kidZ: The Trident Inheritance from a longish treatment into an actual screenplay. I'm hoping to get it into a serviceable draft form in time for the Rocliffe new Writing Forum deadline on the 25th September but I want to keep up the momentum whatever.

The producer for my Anglo-Indian cop comedy idea Dirty Hari is going to have more time soon to develop that idea for a UKFC bid so I'm going to be shuffling quite a lot back and forth between projects.

I'm also hoping to do a play/musical idea around the turn of the year as well as chipping away at the Paper Aeroplane script in an effort to have that ready for shooting in April 2010.

Had a lot of fun on a small shoot last week helping out Gillian Twaite who was my lead lady in Black Widow. My twin Gerard and I did our 4th outing on camera as heavies/bouncer types to help Gillian get some background visuals for a children's show she is producing called Dont Blame It on the Wolf.

The show is on at the Library Theater on the 16th and 17th of  october. More details on the Facebook page.
