Derek and Merrin Enjoyed Their Time Together...

Its 'bin a whiiiile... Bad flashbacks to that song by Stained out of the way, but its true...its been sometime since the last blog and announcement of doing a new music video for -MERRIN-.

Its gone well...slow, but well. Took a while to get an idea with inspiration from Michael Mann's 'Manhunter' as a jumping off point and David Fincher's awesome credit sequence to the 'Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' remake to get the ball rolling. It evolved as the process went along and a story from beginning, middle, and end revealed itself.

But away from that pretentious guff, the bottom line is, its finished. Done. And the feedback? Well...the artist likes it. He loves it in fact. I nailed the mood, the tone, whilst adding that little bit of nightmarish spice and upsetting his girlfriend he said. Not too shabby if you ask me, and its always good to get a response like that.

Anyway, "where/when can I see this masterpiece?" you may not be asking. Answer to that is...I'm holding it back. "You twat!" I'll get in reply (well, I get called that all the time but that's another matter). -MERRIN- want to premier it at the their latest gig at the NAMBUCCA, in London this Sunday the 22nd April. So go check it out of you're in the Big Smoke and enjoy some prog-rock metal while you're there.

If you cant make it? The video will be unleashed Sunday night for all to enjoy (or not). Check back here or most social-twatworks that I'll spam on the back of it and other treats.

IN OTHER NEWS...I've threw out a few short scripts to a couple of festivals to see WTF may (or most probably not) happen. A horror short called 'Last Night Stand' sent to the The National Irish Science Fiction Film Awards which is around October. And the other, a drama/thriller called 'Before I go Away' from a story by me and a friend Michael Ellis, to the Bath Film Festival which is around November - and to which there's no hope in that one.

WOW, just reading over that it seems like a very productive few months which nice so here's to the next few months.  Need. To. Do. More.  I'll be back soon.

See ya on the flip side...Danny
