Not the face...please...

Well, hello young roughiuns.

Punt a blog time while I sup a cup of Twinings Rich & Velvity smooth cwwwooofee and reflect on viewing a few depressing films over the weekend (Killer Joe, Tyrannosaurs, Inside Job)...

Anyway, updates smashed up on Vimeo. So if you're bored of watching blokes with snazzy camera lenses rendering shit in slow-mo on FCPro, check it out. Add me, slate me, do whatever that takes your mind from knowing you've wasted brain-cells commenting on something so meaningless.

Also, I've done a few promo posters for a couple of scripts, being that its apparently the "in thing" to do nowadays. Check out the Flickr stream to the right.

Back on to ventures of the month. I've been eying this for a few years, the 2dayslater film competition. Basically, they set out a brief which mainly involves certain items that the film has to have or a saying and you make a 10 minute short film in 2 days (supposidly, although there will be some cheating bastards). So, I've roped in Chris Earl again to see if we can bang something up together. I've got an idea...but keep thinking there's gonna be shit-loads of films set in the woods (its simple, its convenient, I get it) where shit goes off. So I dunno where to go...brainstorming is needed.

In other news...another rejection from Bath Film Festival IMDb Script to Screen competition. One maybe thinks about pulling out the most offensive thing I've ever written (if I can find it) and maybe put it forward for something.

There's still a few more in the wings (Amazon Studios, Back In the Box, etc) so when someone once asked me if I've ever paid my dues, I said; "Paid my dues? Yes, sir. The cheque is in the mail."

See ya on the flip side...Danny
