Again, big thanks to
all involved. We are very pleased with the movie and hope it gets in front of
many appreciative audiences. More updates will occur on social media and on
this blog, as and when notifications are received.
I am extremely pleased and proud to announce that
both Scarecrow and Return from the Moon have been nominated for awards at the
annual Midlands Movie Awards. Last year, the award ceremony became a ‘physical’
event after being held online previously (in 2017). Luckily, I won Best
Animation in 2018 for ninetofive. This year’s nominations are:
Best Animation – Return from the Moon
Best Visual Effects – Return from the Moon
Best Short – Scarecrow
Best Wardrobe – Scarecrow (Lee Charlish, Meg
Charlish and Jenny McDonald)
It gives me a great buzz knowing that my mum is
part of the awards consideration. Her stitching and crafting of the scarecrow's
mask really helped the production and to forge the desired look for the
eponymous character.
Michael Sales of Midlands Movies does a great job
in championing efforts of local filmmakers, cast and crew, and whatever the
result, we are sure to have a great and memorable night.
The awards take place at Hansom Hall, Leicester on
Saturday 2nd March. Again, updates on the evening will appear on
social media and on this blog.
Switch
I can now finally reveal details of my next
project. It is a short comedy movie - Switch, with an expected runtime of just
over two minutes. It is a two-hander which has now been cast and the crew have
been assembled for a shooting date mid-March. Updates will appear on social
media and here, and I will design a poster for promotional purposes soon. Stay
tuned!
Keep following and if you do read this blog, spread
the word.
