FOR A SHORT FILM….
This last few months has been one of transitions. After we did not make our £50k goal on Kickstarter – no surprise there, hindsight is twenty twenty – we have launched a new campaign with a much more achievable goal of £7000. There’s still a few weeks to go and we’ve already raised £2605. Good going…
With the money from loyal friends, film fans and well wishers, and after selling some artwork to keep my own lights on and pay the rent for the next few months, I’m already in pre production on the short film I want to direct next called BOXER ON THE WILDERNESS.
Harry Mallin, one of the heroes of THE WILDERNESS
After a fruitful but rainy and manic time at the Cannes Film Festival in May, I have to say a big regroup was in order. All The Money people there ask is “Who’s in it?” and “Who’s directing it?”
“Wellll…. if you give me the money I can put in it whomever we choose and I’m directing it.”
At which point they politely hand over their business card and swiftly move on the the next 10 minute pitch.
BOTTOM LINE: I have to direct more if I’m going to be taken seriously. Turns out 30+ years as an actress in this game isn’t the same thing. I was standing on the wrong side of the camera luv.
Check out the campaign (link below) and please pledge and share – I’ve developed some theories about crowdfunding too which I air on the splash page – and hopefully I’ll get to see you at the BAFTA premiere screening in the Autumn.

And I’m looking for a little dramody to direct for under £100k. Do you have one lurking in your computer or know a writer who does?
