Filming Opportunity - Application Sent!

Submissions were accepted from yesterday. I was too nervous to even start the application process, but today I bit the bullet and put forward and idea I'd like to see be made into a short film.

You've got to take chances like this, that make you uncomfortable and nervous, because you never know. Even if I don't get it, I tried! I put myself out there! I can do this independently if I feel strongly enough about this!

As always, I will follow this up when I know - but entries close at the beginning of February, so in the meantime, lots more ideas are to be written up, storyboards need to be completed and notes need to turn into shorts and put into the prettier notebooks I have!

Keep your eyes peeled, wish me luck!

Filming Opportunity!

I recently came across an opportunity on Twitter for the chance to have £10k (WOW!) towards making a short film. All my ideas flooded my brain at once at the thought of my work coming to life! How exciting! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while but due to lack of funds, it's always been a dream.

I am hoping to look through all my notes, notebooks and storyboards to see what I can do.
This week I'll be writing up more short story ideas, to ensure the best work will be put forward - and if I don't manage to get the opportunity, I'll have spent my time working hard, putting effort into work I'll hopefully one day have produced into other media, and enjoying writing different things!

I can always make an attempt to film independently if I feel strong enough that the work needs to be filmed - so it's not the end of the world if my application is not successful.
I'm filling in an application in the next few weeks and I'll keep you posted on how I get on!
Wish me luck!

I've Written A Sketch Show!

This morning I was in a bit of a slump. I started working on a film idea with my brother yesterday, but it seemed to burn my brain out pretty quickly. I got a lot finished for it, but it's all up in the air.

Today I had no motivation until I looked at old notes I'd written - Thank goodness I'm a scrap paper hoarder. I somehow managed rearrange, rewrite and turn it into a plan for a little comedy sketch show.
It doesn't even have a working title at the minute, which is driving me bananas as I can normally name something within minutes of writing it.

I've written a show that contains parodies, and mockumentary style sketches.
I'm quite happy with it, and I've only just finished the overall plan.
I'm spending the rest of the day working out the dialogue, then I desperately need to nail the title.
I will most definitely be filming this during spring and summer this year, and I will be sticking it on Youtube when it's perfect - (Unless Channel Four wants to take me on... Hint Hint.)

Aim : Videos

I plan to hopefully make short films and promo videos in the future.
I wrote a screenplay a while ago, but it's not quite ready and I work on it from time to time to tweak, chop and change it.

I will be filming bits and pieces, this month and next, for 'Deck The Halls With Boughs Of Honesty' to use as a short Christmas video. Depending on time/finances, it may be ready by next Christmas but I will push for this year to get it on Youtube.

I have also drawn up a small storyboard for my first Charlie Cheese book, 'Don't Eat Charlie Cheese', to use as a short promotional video, but I'll need to find an animator -- get in touch if this is something that interests you.

I would absolutely love to see my writing come to life and be on a screen. That's the dream.
I aim to write a play, more screenplays and create stop motion videos. Wish me luck!
