On April the 19th, 2014, a number of cast members will be presenting a number of sneak peak clips of The Silent City as well as answering questions about the movie. This presentation is thanks to Swancon 39 - Conjuration who have welcomed us to their series of panels.

Details about the session can be found on the Swancon Programme and the panel will consist of Anthony Ciccotosto, Sarah Harris, David Partridge, Andreas Piechulik, Marcelle Weber and myself. This will be a rare opportunity to talk with cast on the cusp of the film itself being released, and find out a bit more about it.

In other new, this weekend I will be filming the promotional video for my next project, Good With Words. I am very much looking forward to working with a new bunch of talented people. As long as everything goes well, we will be filming in the new financial year.

Please ignore the unfortunate inclusion of bad punctuation. I suffer from an affliction which affects my ability to proof-read called Slacusbarstiniuos (say it out loud).

This weekend is a big weekend. An audition for a possible Feature Film. Can't say much other than... Here we go!

It is a new year. It feels like an important year. Last year things were changing. It felt like a lot of corners were being turned but hadn't been completely left behind. It was a transition year, and now it is time to see the fruits of it all.

There are some exciting things happening in the local film and theatre scene of my home town of Perth, Australia. Last year saw the rusty old engine start revving on a dawdling film industry, and the outlook is for some rapid acceleration in 2014. Someone has loaded the system with WD40. There is growing international attention being cast our way. Big budget films are being made left right and centre. The Film and Theatre community have never been stronger.

And I am not the only one feeling. It is a sentiment I am hearing from a lot of people. They all feel it. There is such a positive vibe in the air it is almost electric. I have been doing theatre and following the film scene for many years and I have never before seen anything like this.

I have started a new blog (hamreflections.wordpress.com) which may interest someone, and having been a person who struggled to keep a regular blog, I have found this one surprisingly easy. I've even been inspired to reignite my Photography Blog also (jeffwatkinsphotography.wordpress.com) so pop over there if you are interested.

Already, there are several projects in progress which is presenting some interesting opportunities for me, and a few more that have suggested a possible involvement, and we haven't even gotten through half of this month. To say I am excited is an understatement.
