I love my job...isn't that living the dream? Getting paid for what you really enjoy?
So why do I have this constant nagging feeling that I'm only a small way into the journey I set upon back in 2001. I have had 3 children and set up a great business in the meantime so I've not just been kicking my heels but the desire to make a successful feature film (or simply one of which I can be proud) has eluded me. I say successful film not as a desire for wealth, possibly more to do with my own vanity I suppose but also as I have never understood people who make films only to be embarrassed of them. Some may not quite hit the mark you had hoped but I make films for people to watch...I don't see the point otherwise.
And so I embark on the first steps of my debut feature film that has the working title: Where Angels Fear To Tread. I will do my best to keep you updated with progress just in case anyone ever reads this but also in an attempt to spur me on. The first scene of the film, the prologue is a short but violent scene where events conspire to push our protagonist's life into freefall. I am completing the storyboards and have a location picked and we're looking to shoot this before Christmas so will keep you posted on any progress. Whether I will still have this nagging feeling once the film is out there...I don't want to think about that, I really hope not.
Living the dream? Close but not quite
