Post Mistress
Bored – cheap listing day on Ebay which means i HAVE TO BUCKLE DOWN and list lots of things when the fees are cheap. However, it is sunny outside and I don’t wanna (stamp). Here’s a slinky little number by 70s designer Colin Glascoe that will be going up later. Day started off ominously when…

I Don’t Want It
Forgive me Father for I have sinned…. am I the only person who really, REALLY can’t get into ‘Heroes’? Someone help, I need guidance and absolution.

Scarlet Terror
Got my Red Planet entry in by the skin of my teeth before Saturday midnight. Their website suggested they’d accept until Sunday but I didn’t want to chance it so drank too much caffeine-laden Pepsi and jittered my entry in. I think it’s a good concept with legs for a series, interesting characters, but I’m…

Second round of the BSSC
Just a quickie as I’m struggling to catch up after 2 weeks ‘doing’ the Edinburgh Film Festival, and STILL have to type up my notes but…… woohoo through to the second round of the British Short Screenplay Competition. Hope YOU (yes YOU) got through too! On another note – I got offered a place on…

Breach
Went to see ‘Breach’ last night. To be honest, before I heard that Chris Cooper was in it, I wasn’t awfully interested. However, it’s a fascinating film. Based on a true (and recent) story, Cooper plays FBI agent Robert Hanssen, who’s being secretly investigated for alleged spying and unamerican activities. Ryan Philippe plays his ‘assistant’…

Hallam Foe
9:30am is a godforsaken hour for anyone to sit in a darkened cinema, but there I was today watching Hallam Foe at the EIFF. And for such a strange, quirky, by turns sexy and slightly kinky film, it was rather fitting. Beautifully shot, and with a raw, natural performance by Jamie Bell as Hallam, it’s…

Delegate this
Just back from the EIFF where I picked up my Industry Delegate pass. This’ll be the first time I’ve taken time to ‘do’ the Festival properly, and I wasn’t disappointed by the events and Industry screenings available – LOADS. Excitement somewhat dulled by the parking costs nearby though – nearly 6 quid for 3 hours!…

My Life As A Bus Stop
A fellow student on my MA Screenwriting course has a film showcasing at the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) this year. It’s called ‘My Life As A Bus Stop’, go and support it! Check out an interview and info here. Just heard that another fellow student got a place on the TAPs Nations course……. I…

Bear Confronts Whitesnake Singer
I kid you not : check out the BBC article here, “We now have a big bear trap in the garden,” said Coverdale, “for some reason, I don’t think these guys care for rock!” It’s almost as Spinal Tap as Spinal Tap. (Number of trees sawed : 0)
