FESTIVALS AND FRIGHT FESTS!

I'm delighted to announce that my supernatural rom-com, "One Year Later" has been selected to be screened at the Loch Ness Film Festival on the 27th of July between 7 and 9pm at the Craigmonie Theatre in Loch Ness. It's free entry so I hope everybody can make it!

We've also entered the film into the Deep Fried Film Festival, Raindance and Encounters so fingers crossed we get selected to be screened there too. We're also aiming for Sundance, the Leeds Short Film Festival, and the London Short Film Festival. 

More news as it comes in!

On Sunday the 26th of May we entered the Shortcuts to Hell Competition, where you had to shoot a 3 minute horror film in 6 hours with 6 cast, 6 crew and 6 lines of dialogue. We finished with 10 minutes and 55 seconds to spare. Major congratulations to the extremely hard working cast and crew who went above and beyond to make, what I hope, is a scary, thought-provoking horror film. We'll be submitting it on the 6th of July after our One Year Later composer Samantha Pake has completed the score and we could be selected and screened in Leicester Square for Fright Fest and on Sky's Horror Channel. Regardless it was a tough, brilliant learning experience to shoot under those tight constraints and it was great experience for me as a wannabe TV writer to work to those rules.

Now back to the drawing board thinking of ideas for the Virgin Media Shorts competition and coming up with ideas for TV shows, all towards making me a better writer and hopefully one day soon getting picked up to write for a TV show OR write my OWN TV show, now that's the dream...
