All About Janet

This past weekend I was asked by a good friend to help out with a film she was working on in Birmingham.  I have to say it was a really great weekend.  I was originally brought in to do the sound for the film, however things have progressed a little since then and I am now also editing it as well.

I am really excited about this one.  It is a short but very powerful film with a superb cast and excellent crew.  The film is directed by Phil Howard and is set to be premièred later this year.  The cast comprises of:

• Val Monk
• Benjamin Bull
• Natasha Bigford
• Angela Price

This is definitely one to watch (and not just because I'm editing it lol).  Seriously, a lot of hard work has gone into this by some very dedicated and talented individuals.

Ok so following on from my last blog I have been working tirelessly with my good friends Danyl Rathband and James Earnshaw.

In order to help raise both awareness and funds for Coffee4Craig Ian Jenkins and Rod Barry got together to write a song for them.  It is a wonderful Reggae number and they got an authentic feel to it thanks to the talents of Marlon Clark, the vocalist they brought in to perform it.

Myself, Danyl and James were brought in to make a music video for the song.  In fairness James did the lions share of the work on this project acting as both director and editor.  We all believe we have a really good product at the end of the day.

It has been officially released today on-line and all proceeds from the single will go directly to Coffee4Craig to help fund the wonderful work they do in helping the homeless.  So please follow the link below and enjoy the music,knowing as you do that you have just helped someone.

Coffee 4 Craig

As my first action upon returning to the business I have decided to help two wonderful young ladies from Manchester.

I would like to introduce you to Risha and Fie.  They operate a "not for profit" organisation called "Coffee 4 Craig" aimed at offering support to the homeless community in the Manchester area.

I could spend the next several pages detailing all of the amazing work they are doing but it would be much easier if you followed this link to their facebook page.  Please take the time to look around, see what these girls are all about and more importantly see if there is a way that you can offer them some support or help.

Rest assured you will be hearing more about these two young angels in the very near future so watch this space.

Returning to The Fold

For those of you who have been visiting my blog you will have noticed a definite lack of material for the last couple of years.  This has been due to an unfortunate set of circumstances in my personal life which has made it impossible for me to continue building my film making career in the way I had originally planned.

While those circumstances have not really diminished, they have changed to such an extent that I can now consider returning to my passion albeit at a greatly reduced pace.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have offered their support during these difficult times, it has been greatly appreciated.
