Hello mr blog...

It's clearly been awhile.

I was actually looking at going steady with another blog provider, but i might be too lazy to go through with it. It's much cleaner lookin'. The sort of blog you'd introduce to fancy people. You can see some of this blog provider in action over at thedeadmustdie.com which is now the official site for the DEAD MUST DIE series. Or at least the first part of what will hopefully, at some stage become more of a series. One is not a series, or so I've been told, one is just one. Not two. Never two. Not really.

One of the coolest things about that sexy new blog is that I can update it via iphone from anywhere, with voice, video, or whatever digital nonsense I wish to inflict upon you. So yes I like it, i think it's cool. Or as cool as a blogging website can get, which on the grand scheme of things that are cool really doesn't place.

So about the short-series-whatever, it's done, signed, sealed, delivered to Sundance. Now we wait eagerly for any sort of acceptance (or the opposite - but hopefully not) before we send it on anywhere else. I'm really looking forward to seeing people's reactions. I think it's a good one. I sent it to Charlie Adlard - The artist from 'The Walking Dead' series and he seemed to like it. So i guess that's worth the price of the ticket alone. Not that there's any screenings to buy tickets to yet... But I digress.

In 2 weeks i'm off to Santa Fe, New Mexico where my other film - The Legend of ol' Goldie has been nominated for a Kid's First Award. Which is very cool as Kid's First is the largest Children's Film festival in the whole world, and this is my first nomination above student level prizes. Like proper grown up stuff. (Even if it is for kids!) Goldie also recently played at the New Orleans Film Festival and at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival. Which was so super awesome because that was the film festival I wanted to be in the most! In fact, I had the poster for the festival above my computer during the edit last year. It was the proverbial deadline fest. But I missed the holy deadline and had to wait a whole year to submit again. But submit I did and here I am. Big-shit-eating-grin all round.

I'm also tagging a week in NY on after the awards to see all those lovely New York people I met when I was on Engine Room last year. I genuinely can't wait :D New York better watch out. Because... Because... nope can't think of a reason, but i'll point in it's face, and make my eyebrows look like scrunched up, like i'm about to say something... But then I won't... How do you like them apples, big apple?

Hmmm starting to. not. make. sense. Better pull the ripchord.

Next time, i'll tell you about the time I saved the world...
