New Status Updates

Just co-founded Chichester Filmmakers to help develop skills, retain local talent, and sew the seeds for a kindling film industry on the south coast of England. First 2 short films are in Development and PreProduction with another beig developed for 2025, and now talking to potential funding sources to do a feature film.

Who knows - we might even pull it off !!
Even though streaming dominates the movie market, I'm still tickled that my movie Detours is now available on DVD through Walmart on line & Amazon, & coming soon to Barnes and Noble & FYE. Screenshot 2023-12-19 at 9.35.13 AM.png
Pre-pre-production: Gearing up for the next 2 short film shoots here in the UK for 2024, AND just created a new Film Makers club for the City of Chichester (@Chichester Film makers).
The little things that make me (very) happy:
a follower on Threads (aka the new Twitter?) who I don't otherwise know said the following to me after watching Detours:
"I enjoyed it tremendously. I laughed and cried, but most importantly I felt better after watching than I did when I started."

We all know what a slog it is to make a feature, so any time I get positive feedback, it helps. A lot.
Everyone says they want to travel the world, but they hate watching foreign films
Twelve days of writers block for one little scrap of an idea. Eureka!! I am happy with my little scrap.
Outer Banks main character is "John B" and I think about Tommy Wiseau and "Chris-R" everytime i hear his name.
I appreciate the mentions by friend/collaborator Tara Westwood. Her description of our project is perfect: "Mara and I are now co-writing a feature about medically assisted death (trust me it’s a lighter story than it sounds)"
I'd like to second that, you are truly an inspiration in your own unique style.

It's like a Highway To Nowhere where the save points are a pause to Introspection, and then openly driving all of us towards your amazing journey.
obviously, It'll be A Highway to Somewhere, Someday but the magic of it will be to never find completion...

I saw chaos in patterns of contrasts also probably contradictions and yet felt the calm of the storm.

my summary of the last four films I watched.
Gut-wrenching stuff, in its boldness and bravery. I was addicted to the tangibility that was pretty consistent all through.

My sincere respects to you. Oh, and fitting "Title".

It looks like the YouTube service that was hosting my movies has been "terminated"? Yikes! But you can watch Detours here on the free PlexTV service: Detours on Plex TV

Yea i was going to say that. Btw i watched surviving family on plex.

One suble detail i noticed which impacted me is the chirping of the bird in the midst of the troubled conversations. Is that intentional?
