2017 Update

It's been two years since my last update, and this is in part because there hasn't been much to update, and in part because I'm not very good at being a blogger. Plus I think I'm the only one who reads my blog. I'm discounting the numerous internet 'bots' who post random, non-personal but very friendly blog comments, whilst secretly hoping I'll click on their links to essay writing services or obscure video games - but I'm neither a gamer nor do I need help with essay-writing. And I've just deleted all their comments (sorry 'bots'). I wouldn't want any potential, "real" commenters to feel scared off. I've had some health issues that have forced me to take things slow. However, things are looking up again, and I'm in post-production with the next instalment in my short film trilogy: "The Day We Met", with an expected completion date in January 2018. We shot it over 6 days in July-August. This film is part one of the trilogy, but the second to be made. "Second Encounters", which is part two but the first one to be made, and "The Day We Met" feature characters and storylines indenpendent of each other, but they share an overarching theme. Part three, "Sweethearts?", is currently in preproduction, which means we are putting the financing together and soon we will start the casting process and lock-down location. We aim to start principal photography around Easter 2018. I was/am also in development with a feature film ("Black Blood") which I completed writing in 2016, and it had a producer attached, but due to family illness, followed by pregnancy (on the producer's, not my, part), I am now looking for a new producer. However, at the moment, I'm more interested in pursuing my feature script "Oliver & Cecilie Go on a Date" - which is a romantic comedy told in split screen from his and her point of view - and I'm currently trying to finish the script. I have about 35 pages so far and I'm somewhere just after the first turning point/beginning of act two - not that I write based on the three-act structure, but most stories do feature a beginning, middle and end, and I'm somewhere in the early middle. I'm looking for a producer for this project, too, but mainly I'm focused on completing a first draft.
