Video Blogging
Been an interesting few hours. With one eye on the future, I’ve been making a video blog for KillerKiller. I suddenly realised that by this point in the pre-production of TrashHouse I had started ranting to camera on a fairly regular basis, explaining how the film was bound to fall apart any minute. Some of…

Writing amid destruction
Jinx Media only has an official office during shoots. For writing, pre-production and so on, I use an office in my home. That’s where I’m sitting at the moment, listening to the dulcet tones of my bathroom being torn to pieces by a cheerful team of guys who turned up bright and early this morning.…

Update
Mailed out an update to my beloved TrashHouse cast and crew. Here it is with the business sensitive bits removed, (but otherwise intact); * The UK DVD release date has been set for January 23rd. This may still move, but if so it’ll only be by a week or so. At the moment, it looks…

DVD Release / HellBride Art
After speaking at length to the fine folks at Screen Entertainment, it’s looking rather like TrashHouse will be hitting the DVD shelves in early January 2006. We’re working out which extras and bits and bobs we’ll be able to cram onto the disc, but hopefully you’ll all enjoy the package. I’ve recently been in touch…

Cash Flow / The Quick & Dirty Shoot
Money’s at the front of my mind today. Just had to write a large cheque that I thoroughly resented, for a firm that I felt hadn’t done sufficient work to deserve it. This hasn’t happened often in Jinx Media’s short life, (most folks that we end up writing cheques for have earned their cash twenty…

Publicity…
TrashHouse has won two awards from the TromaFling festival, which is rather fine and funky. We’ve been given the Best Screenplay award, and a runner-up award for Best UK Feature. It was a very nice surprise. Reckon if they’d had an extra award for Best Drunken Babbling by a Director we’d have had that one…

Big mountain of stuff
No matter what stage of anything you’re at, there’s always a great big pile of stuff to do. I’ve been working flat out to get my pile of stuff reduced to a decent level, but more stuff always comes along to replace everything that I cross off my ‘To Do’ list. Is this how it’s…

DVD contracts
I said I wasn’t saying anything until I had the paperwork in front of me. I now have the paperwork in front of me. TrashHouse will be released by Screen Entertainment in both the USA and the UK. No release date has been set as yet, but you’re looking at March 2006 at the very…

TV deal also crawls closer…
Man, this is getting too tantalising. Feels like we’re forever teetering on the very, very edge of being able to announce the details of both the TV and DVD deals of TrashHouse, but we’re always one step away. A couple of weeks back, I couldn’t announce them because the heads of the companies concerned had…

DVD deal crawls closer
Got positive news on Tuesday from our (subject to contract) DVD distributors. Not going to name the company until pen has scribbled on paper, but TrashHouse has just gotten sign-off from the final head honcho in the chain and we can get started on the paperwork for both UK and USA release. It’s been a…
