About me: I'm a screenwriter / producer / director / sometime actor, with film, TV, radio, stage, and Internet credits to my name.
My production company, 6869 Films, handles all kinds of short films, music videos, or commissioned works. Just email me and ask! We're very good.
Who I'd like to meet: Producers and directors who want great filmable scripts. Other writers, keen to share ideas and experiences. Anyone who loves film, comedy, and being creative.
Oh, and Christina Ricci (grrrr).
Haha yeh, except I was playing the Mother. The blonde girl, Danielle was having a very unsly love affair with my 'husband' . This improvisation was absolutely bizarre, the teacher played music during it which we had to react to and at one point, the teacher started playing the song "looking for some hot stuff..." in which Danielle ended up grinding on Mark (the husbands) lap and I ended up shaking my booty trying to get his attention. Absolute craziness but very funny! X
What can I say, yes it does aha!! Speaking of cameras, in our next college production, we have some bizarre song called 'the camera loves you'...its great!! You'll have to come see it! How are you anyway??x
Hi Gordon! How are things? Hope you are well. How is it going with you guys & editing the film? I really can't wait to see it/finish filming first! I start back at college in a couple of weeks, which I am so excited about as I've been missing performing so much, it feels like it was ages ago that we even filmed one-liners. When I go back to college we're starting on a play called "Attempts on her life", which sounds very intense & interesting. Rehearsals will start soon & the performance will take place in the next few months most likely, so when I find out dates etc. you, Elek & co. should come along. Have you managed to see anything in the fringe at all? I've been to see five shows in all, and so far there has been a variety of the good and bad shows. For example, the ladboys was just cheap & tacky...I don't even know why I thought it would be a good idea to see it in the first place. The performers appeared to have so much surgery on their face/drugs in their body, they were having extreme difficulty even miming along to songs...oh yes, they mime, don't even sing!! Anyway, I'm ranting now. I hope to hear back soon, Daniela!X
Hey thanks, Gordon, I am going to Ireland tonite to spend my birthday with my parents. Please let me know the moment Stanley and Meg becomes free. I will make it in a shot. I adore the script as you know... Hope all is well with you.. jd
That sounds good! & thanks for the compliment, I just hope my acting was as successful as my eyes!! ha Well, I'm totally up for filming again, to make it even better. See you soon, Danni. x
Hi Gordon! How are things? Hope you're well. Missing filming & everything. Have you guys had time to start editing & do you think we'll need to reschedule more shooting dates? I hope so, it's too much fun haha. x
