Live shows and writing
A lot of my time recently has been taken up with live shows and writing screenplays, which are a million miles apart in terms of action and reaction. See, one of the things I used to love about doing stand-up (the gravestone of my stand-up “career” reads 1998-2002) was that the reaction was instantaneous. If…

Indie Movies Online at Cannes
I’m kind of gutted that I won’t be at Cannes this year. I love it and I want to get back there.. Hopefully next year. In the meantime, our good friends over at IMO have set up a special Cannes Film Festival site to help me keep up to date with what’s going on and…

The Classic, Westcliff on Sea
This is what I remember, although you can’t call it a memory. Poster frames outside. Six frames, left to right. The two central ones are advertising ‘Now Showing’. When I try and focus on the one second from the left I can’t get a firm image in my head. It might be advertising local businesses.…

Bordello Death Tales screening
Saturday rolled around, and we had the first screening of Bordello Death Tales. We held it in a seriously unconventional venue, (Gallery 491 in Leytonstone), which had a giant paper-mache squid suspended from the ceiling in the screening room. Myself, Jim and Al were interviewed by a film crew from Gorezone (for inclusion on a…

Big week approaching..
On Saturday, Bordello Death Tales gets played before an audience for the first time. It’s a movie that’s been hovering in post-production for far longer than we ever intended; we’d intended to do it pretty quick and dirty, and anticipated locking some time towards the end of 2008. Buuuut, things get polished, then tweaked, then…
