Submitted & Declined

The film was completed at 3am on 15th of January and submitted later that day. We received an email saying that it had not got through.

I attended the screening. And although it could have been so good, it was lacking a great deal. But I myself put this down to the lack of time. I wish I could have seen some of it as it was being made, but maybe that is my own directorial needs coming through. Our director is gutted and I haven't seen him since. I'd like to sit and have a talk with him about it and point out things that could have been improved upon, but in a nice way. Constructive criticism is there for a purpose, for us to build upon things to make it kick arse the next time! I think what this lacked was a standard, start, middle and end. The narrator was not matching up with what was being displayed on screen and the camera was not steady.

But this has ignited the spark for me to finally put my little regency comedy onto film. I realised I've had it penned and in my head since 2006, perhaps 2009/2010 will be its time to shine?! The next signature item will be announced in March so I will have to work around that. Should be fun, might call on our leading man, he would make the perfect Henry. I've already been plotting what to do to our leading girls and I think its going to make you laugh and fall off your seat. But I'm biased, this is my baby after all!

Aw sad day. After all that work. Do you get to keep the costumes for yourself? haha

I do get to keep them. Like I wouldn't! I get to tear some up to make new ones, well that's what I intend to do. But now I can improve on them, make adjustments here and there and make them properly!
