not advice, just wondering what feedback you might have regarding mirroresque. i've written plenty of notes, but everyone i speak with wants additional information about the treatment of the thing, so i thought to ask you if you had any because, as far as i'm concerned, when the dough comes through, you've got the gig if you still want it.
it's all been on the back burner for a-ages, and i'm making a new life for myself in marlborough, wiltshire.............plus i've been concentrating on writing a book for the past months.........but i expect to be back on form as a producer within the coming months. there are many many rich people in this county and many successful media people, therefore, i might find it relatively easy to raise a budget from here.
good to hear from you again. i imagine you must have been busy of late.
oh, also, i've made a contact with the younger sister of a friend of mine. she did the hair and make-up on a feature by shane meadows, and will be the perfect person for the time-lapse sequence.
I woke up this morning and for no reason in particular, started dancing the merengue. It is now 4hours later and I stll haven't stopped(except to write this of course)! I am not a naturaly gifted dancer nor am i a Scientologist..so I can only assume that I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me Jx
You're living the dream of any independent film director, making it possible for those who shouldn't have a way understand that it doesn't take being born into the industry to accomplish your dreams. I truly appreciate what you do. I hope to get started on some of my projects very soon, and I look forward to seeing the outcomes of your hard work and dedication. Thank you and Good luck!
Hello mandi, What strike are you talking about? Anyway i need your suggestions and help! I will be completing my high school soon and i need to choose my college for further education! Do you think I should do my bachelors in a different field other than film making for a backup and then go for film making? or should i directly go to a film school? Thanks...
