…Well at Least it isn’t Raining…

Blogging from bed, what could be more leisurely?

Blogging from bed within arms reach of a cup of tea or a cream soda. Leisure at its finest.

Anyway, the morning and now afternoon has brought nothing in the way of activity from myself. ‘Ungry progresses, as I think I may have finally found us a woman for the female lead role. Yes, she has Uni commitments, but I think if we go over the shooting script with her we can come to some sort of compromise with regards to timing. Film, a never-precise art.

As LeftHanded edges closer to being born and having two films under its banner, the task now sets about us screenwriter folk to come up with more. Al and Macina have their writer credits in the works, and I feel its time for me to churn out my own short piece. I have one that I could quite happily adapt, if it weren’t so comprehensively shite. I think I need something new, a quaint little drama of some sort, something I can write, feel happy with, and then let someone else play with. Directing my own work? Not sure yet. Would rather sit back for now and see what someone else does with it. Maybe if I do another one next term. Hell, if ‘Ungry and Serenade are finished by Christmas, I do reckon most of us will be spending the entirety of 2010 making short movies. It’s been that much fun in the running up to the start of production.

Work, as always are delightfully annoying. Another 12 hour shift looms, presumably unless I can complete a couple of training booklets. Now, call me paranoid, but surely training booklets should be completed before you even start working for a company? Strange that this didn’t occur.

In other work related news, 2012 opened last night. I stood in there doing screen checks a few times, and from what little I managed to catch of that film, it looks shit. I have no idea why its selling out (most likely because people are buying the way the Mayan calendar malarky has been utterly misconstrued by an information-saturated Western society) but its really just The Day After Tomorrow Part 2.

Right, getting up would be a fantastic idea, seeing as I start work in five hours. Soup would be a clever idea. Better than a walk to Asda in this weather.
