The Things I Think About went down really well at Kino London last week and have been told it will be there film of the month for February.

As for the rest of this month, I've had various meetings about work for spring, which I can't say much about yet, calendar is finally filling up a little.  One was with Cheltham Jazz festival and i hope to be working with a really lovely, talented artist.  

Whilst February is a little quiet I'm wrestling away  submissions for film applications and counting to develop scripts.

The things I think about was at LSFF. It went down quite well- now back to the desk to develop the next one

This year 2012 sees the development of my new longer film, which I hope to get backing/ support from this year. Hopefully another wierd and wonderful short film with Actor ED Rapley,  as well as extending new cilents and production compnaies to work freelance for .

This week, we have been finalising the grade for the Kotki Dwa music video, which wont be out until next spring as part of an album launch, we had meetings with the co funders of the project, so had to work all night to complete the grade. 

This week is Encounters short film festival, my 11th year, but only 5th time as a film maker in competition- I started going when i was 17 years old, it inspired me seeing and meeting film makers from all over the world and learning from professionals.

I cant say too Much, But im working on a short film, directed by Lynne Ramsay.
Im down in Devon, working really long days, so long that I cant get back in time to pop out and watch Lynnes award winning feature " We need to Talk About Kevin"

The film im working on should be out next year - inspirational director, the route i'd like, makes me want to push that feature further.

Since Moving to London, i've been working freelance for a design Agency called YCN, Ive been, Directing the Filming of ab NSPCC viral about Bullying.

Ive been working with two companies who specialise in post production, Watergun and Plastic Horse.

YCN asked me to Film and direct the filming of a Promotional viral for Arsenal stadium.
Working with cameraman Ibrahim Mohammed and sound man Eifion Jones, we filmed at the Emirates stadium and at the training ground outside London. I must confess i hardly reckonised any of the players, but at the same time was in ore of the magnificent stadium and its grandeur 

Plastic Horse also edited this. When there a link ill put it here.

We Have completed the Things I think about, started the long submission process to festivals and have already started pursing and scripting other projects, so watch this space....

Handed in all Media Sandbox films, shot the short " The things I think about"  and left for travels abroad... on the way I was curious to start writing my feature  film " Looking For Lenka"

A young man goes to rekindle a romantic fling in Hungry only to find the girl, Lenka, terminally ill. He risks loosing everything as he finds himself staying to become her carer.

My trip took me from Berlin east towards Budapest, passing many countries, encountering and experiencing great people and stories.

I ended up in Budapest where I attended a " moving districts' European film workshop, where i took part in several film and audio task, one of them was a three day film. I found it a challenge scripting with other people, whose ideas were very different to mine, we eventually made Vizlat" ( farewell)

My trip took me beyond Budapest, getting inspiration for my feature, and i got the traveling bug and headed south to the Balkans, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia and Montenegro.
