Well welcome back and here's the LA report. I have been trying to think of ways to comment on what was said without sounding arrogant, but the truth is, there aren't any. After SPEED DATE & THE DINNER PARTY were shown, back to back on consecutive nights, the comments were quite humbling. Industry people, with decades of experience commented that " this guy is creating a whole new genre of films". Comments like this have been thrown at filmmakers that I have nothing but respect for, like Hitchcock, who is the godfather of doing things in his own unique way, so when the reports came back to me, I was just a little numb and that's putting it mildly. Now nobody actually gave this new genre a name, so we are safe from any obscure branding, although i'm sure some of you will have some suggestions, as I usually get some very witty comments from those of you that read this regularly.
I am doing the third of my planned four films next month and it's just as ambitious as the last two. Not so much for time restraints, but this time we make a film with just one actor, nobody else is seen, which is a challenge in itself, but it will be a compelling feature film in it's own right. We have the worlds smallest crew and one actor to work with, but a very dramatic story and what a great actor we get to work with. I'm relishing the opportunity and the next set of challenges. On a different note, 'The Dinner Party' is now on line to purchase and to watch at www.masivefilms.com for a low 4.49 in your local currency. It's why I make films, to get people to watch them, and although only there for a limited time, a few weeks in fact, it's there for all to see, watch and comment on too. Hope you enjoy it. Bitches has now been pushed back unfortunately, as we need to raise a little finance for this and in these tough economic times, it's not that easy, but it's still very much a project that is ready to go from the page to the screen. I'll keep you posted on this. See you on the next red carpet, on-set or maybe just down the pub for a chat! Be good, x
