#4 (almost)

Yesterday I went to the Tooting Bec production offices of Michael’s Resignation; an independent film funded by crowd-sourcing. I interviewed the producer, a friendly chap called Alex, about the film for an hour or so before we started chatting about other projects he had going on, and he discussed with me ideas I had for filming. The team utilise their space for any other projects the members have in a very collaborative fashion.

Alex showed me a photoshoot that Sam, the Director of Photography, had done earlier with Ally, his very attractive girlfriend, who’s going to be featured in Maxim in a few months. There were loads of photos, all very nice, but mostly very topless. He’s handed me the laptop and I was casually browsing through before Ally entered the room and immediately asked what I was looking at. I looked up at her with the Guiltiest Expression Ever on my face as Alex smirked and said, “Your photos!” Awkward!

She was fine about it, though. If she’d have had a problem with it I don’t think she’d have had the photos taken in the first place. But if I’d turned up earlier I could well’ve ticked #4 off my list of  things to do.

48 hour Film Challenge

This was meant to be a modern day retelling of the first bit of Genesis, with God as an unreasonable landlord, but I don’t think it really worked all that well. Shot for Sci-Fi-London‘s 48 Hour Film Challenge, it was a good first exercise in making a (very) short film, though.
