Heyo folks. Hitting you with a quick update faster than a Jim Kelly (RIP) pimp roundhouse.
While I nurse a badly sprained ankle and float about high on painkillers, my good buddy Chris Purdie dropped some great news about his band -MERRIN-
and the music video HENRY KANE.
The video is going to get a screening at the SUPERNORMAL FESTIVAL the 9th - 11th August (clicky the link) in Oxfordshire.
A breakdown of the programme is on the link. Below is a brief of the fest...
Supernormal is a festival like no other, providing a powerful antidote to the current malaise of festivals-as-big-business. Blurring the boundaries between art and music, performer and audience, it champions the iconoclastic and the experimental, allowing risks to be taken and leaps of imagination to occur. Somewhere in spirit between the original Glastonbury Fayre and an eccentric village fete, Supernormal is the alternative's alternative.
Pretty chuffed but slightly gutted as I know Chris has been trying to play that festival for a few years rather than screen a music video.
So, if you're out and about in toff-land or going the festival anyway, drop us a message and let me know what you think.

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

UPDATES 2.0
Phew...time-consuming all this blog-page lark but I do have updates to whisper into ones ear.
Remember the Clarity short film that I mentioned before? Well, that's been updated and viewable HERE. Please leave comments and feedback...I dont mind, really. Really...
Anyway...I have also updated the FILMS section to incorporate links to the films via trailers and IMDB pages. This then leads me into...the GUIDE section.
To the right there's a STICKIES section which will give you a brief instruction on how to navigate the blog - bottom line is...everything is click-able.
ADDITIONALLY - There's also a contact page trying to promote any Music Video's you young Eddy Vedder's would like us to make.
Information overload I know...but its best to contain it in one place.
