On Set

  On Set (Picture from set) I had a wonderful time on set, everything went to plan, my crew were amazing it was a pleasure working with them. This was the first time I have directed other actors from start to finish since completing my MA in Acting, I felt like I knew how to help my actors go deeper and reveal more. With: In Front Of You, being the third movie I have directed, of course there are things for me to take on board, look at and work on, so that the next time I get a chance to direct I will be even better.

  My Pre-production Journey This blog post   is an addition to my latest YouTube video- making a short film: my process. I will leave a link below. In previous blog posts I have talked about being in the process of writing a series of short films, and now I am no longer talking the talk, I am walking the walk.   What do I mean by this? I am putting my words and thoughts into action and I am making a short movie, in life people say they will do something and often do not follow through, and by me posting to my blog it keeps me somewhat accountable, so that I can follow through with what I say. My new short film is called: Right In Front Of You. I am the writer, director and producer, and each role allows me explore different aspects of my creativity, as a writer I get to create worlds for actors to explore, as a director I get to hone and shape actors performances, and as a producer I get to hire talented people, I also get collaborate with people who have different skill sets from my o
