Time for a change...

(Emily, Jamie and Mhairi on the Bloodline Pilot set)

Time for a brief, yet important update.

Since teaming up with Scott Forrest, of Forrestfire Productions, I've been involved in a lot more projects, and it looks to be continuing. We worked with Claire Mcguire on her short film "Chaos and Curlers" as well as the pilot episode of "Bloodline" and we've successfully put on several TV/film/theatre networking nights in Glasgow.

In December time we should be working together on another short for Mark Harvey which is all very exciting and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in. We're also finishing the Bloodline pilot in order to pitch it to TV execs. in the hope we'll get a full series commission (after all, we've wrote out the plan for 7 more episodes, and if I do say so myself, they are freakin' awesome and a little bit geeky too!).

We're also branching out into two more areas - Scott and I have been keen to join the podcast race and so we are developing that project at the moment. The idea behind is that we'll review TV shows, new film releases and DVD releases while interviewing industry professionals in film and TV to give their advice to budding directors, producers, actors, and other crew, hopefully in a fun, light hearted informative way. I'll post updates as we go but progress is being made. 

Our film/tv/theatre networking events will also be going under a slight transformation with the hope of showing some short films and bringing in special guests to do a talk, again, hopefully to give advice to those who want it and inspire people to keep going.

It's so crucial to gain experience in the industry, meet people, talk to them, help them, work with them, work as a community, rather than a rival. We're all in it together, trying to make a living and advance in our careers so let's help one another.

And with that in mind, I'm off to get excited about tomorrow night's episode of Doctor Who...
