The Recap Post!

(Me and Jamie Forrest on the location of the Bloodline Pilot)

Righto, there's a LOT going on, I'm posting a lot on my blog (it's therapeutic, honest... and it helped Russell T Davis during his run on Doctor Who and Torchwood). 

So if you're new to my blog, or you've not been here in a while, here's a quick recap post for you all.

1 - Who Am I?

I'm Fraser, hello! I've studied at James Watt College and trained at the BBC. I run my own production company and I've made short films, a feature film, a pilot for a TV show, lots of music videos and corporate videos. I'm working on a new short film and developing a TV show with some really wonderful people. Here's my showreel...

2 - One Year Later: Short Film

I'm in the process of making a short film, "One Year Later". It's about David as he tries to pull off the perfect proposal to Katy, his soul-mate, with the help of his older brother Steven. Except Steven is dead and could either be a ghost or just a figment of David's imagination. It's a rom-com with a supernatural twist. We're going to shoot it in Glasgow at the end of April and enter it into film festivals. We've got a LOT of actors wanting to audition so if you're interested then you can email your headshot and CV to oneyearlater@sillyweefilms.co.uk. Casting breakdowns are at this page. PLEASE check them to make sure you are suitable before applying.

We are also approaching well known actors to take part to help raise the profile of the film and the quality of the film. We need to raise £3,000 to pay all the cast and crew so if you can donate ANYTHING to the film we will give you a perk in return: a signed script from the shoot, signed movie posters, postcards, copies of the movie on DVD, invite to the screening, set visits, etc. Click here to find out how you can support our short film.

3 - Creative Talent Connections: The Podcasts and Networking Nights

Claire Mcguire, Scott Forrest and myself are producing educational podcasts, interviewing established professionals to talk of their experiences in the industry and offer advice to newcomers. We've spoke to Kirsty Strain, Greg Hemphill and Simon Weir. You can listen to our episodes here! We've got more guests lined up so expect more podcasts soon. We also host networking events in Glasgow every two months, inviting professionals to do an informal chat to our attendees and offer them the chance to ask them questions.

4 - Bloodline: The TV Show

Bloodline is a supernatural Scottish TV show about mythological monsters and the people protecting us from them, and the evil using them for their own gain and purposes. We've shot a pilot episode, wrote out a series synopsis and we're gearing up to pitch it to production companies. Everything you need to know about Bloodline is right here.

This is our BIG project and we're doing everything we can to create an entertaining Scottish programme to put on television, providing as many jobs and opportunities for actors and crew in Scotland. Fingers crossed.

And that's it. Feel free to follow me on Twitter and say hello.
