The countdown continues and I watch a really beautiful film

I promised a rip-roarer of an update so here we go. 

17 days until the wedding; I now have a shirt, suit and socks. Just cuff links and shoes to go. Venues are booked and paid for, cakes are arranged. Last night I wrote my vows and now I just need to memorise them; shouldn't be too hard!

We watched Julie and Julia last night. Laura's choice of course; I wouldn't think in a million years about watching a film about two women who cook.

I really, really enjoyed it. It seemed to last a long time; but I enjoyed every minute. The characters were lovable; enjoyable and real. Plus it links to blogging; a subject close to my heart at the moment!

In direct contrast this morning I'm watching Drag Me to Hell; I have to watch that one on my own of course (what with the gore and the demonic possession and whatnot!)

I'm enjoying posting my thoughts online. It is pushing me to make time do interesting things with my days like trying out new films.

Thank you so much to those of you who are still clicking on the ads; your help is greatly appreciated!

Day 1: A Zombie Film with No Name

Hello again,
Thankyou to those of you who have clicked ads on the page. I've earned almost a pound from the last post! Please click through on this one too to see the wonderful bargains the lovely people at google provide!


Finally got around to filming something of my own for the first time in a while. Number of volunteers dwindled when it got to the actual time of filming as it always does. Personally responsible for that as didn't remind everybody about it until the last minute in a piffling digital manner on that there Facebook so as a result ended up with just the 3 volunteers and my ever loyal cameraman/co-director.


That said the three previously undiscovered talents I did end up with were tremendous. My cousin, who it will never be said is not commited to her art. My uncle who posseses comedy genius as a zombie I never would have dreamed and my friend and truly nice bloke Kevil whose expertise as a stumbling gut-muncher was unparalleled especially as to this day he has never seen a zombie film!


I felt a real visceral link to this project; it was commented that I had missed my true calling as a zombie coach being able to get into the mindset of the undead and play out their actions producing genuine zombie results.


Connected to the camera again I felt a giddiness I have not in a while. After this project ceases I am vowing to make more of my own work burst into existence like a rifle through a rotting abdomen. Yes it may be zombie-related (I do have a work in progress cruising around my frontal lobe as I type now) but I hope it will push the boundaries of my creativity even more.


Next shoot will be more organised than the last now I am a digital human again with a working (fingers and toes crossed) laptop. Now in need of some actors!

Zombie Volunteers needed

This evening (17th September 2010) I am going to be making a zombie film in Crossgates, Leeds. The filming will run from 8pm to 1am(ish) and be at the end of Manston Lane.
