She looked to the vastness of the cosmos. In all that space, she thought, how could there be something on my stairs? She laughed at this, then turned back to the house and all the humour left her…

And then my first attempt at documentary filmmaking received this.

Been a pretty good week.

The first one hasn’t even been shot yet- Hell, it’s still being cast- but reaction to the screenplay has led to talks about a possible sequel already. Gotta say, I love this title, and this poster.

Just hope everyone likes this right load of Bastards as much as we do.

Just waiting on one more piece of the puzzle and then THE HOUSE ON LIDDERMAN STREET is done. It’ll be a relief.

Some lovely (official) photos from our time at the Sykehouse Film Festival the other week where LAURA LIVING BACKWARDS was honoured with wins and honourable mentions. It was a lovely way to end its festival run and to see Laura herself Sarah Feltham be awarded for her brilliant performance.

The connection between Oasis and Sabbath are that they are both proper working class bands that came from nowhere and changed everything. And I love them both.

Apropos of nothing, I’ve always absolutely loved this poster. And the film. But then, it is Sam Raimi, so of course I love it.

Myself, director Kate Horlor, and Laura herself Sarah Feltham will be screening our short film LAURA LIVING BACKWARDS with Q&A at this year’s Sykehouse Film and Writer’s Festival in Doncaster on the 28th June. Be a good way to mark the end of its festival run.

Came across these cool DAWN OF THE DEAD shots of my man George Romero. Never seen them before. Just looking at these makes me want to go make another film.

Some cool artwork for THE WILDING beginning to float about. Lot of exciting things going on with this one.

Been waiting a long time for this.

Thrilled with this write-up for SOCIETY PLACE by fellow author Terry Grimwood. Made my day.
