Turn is Finally Online!

My Film Turn will make its WORLD PREMIERE at Future Shorts Cork on the 2nd of May.

An unexpected turn changes Peter’s outlook on life.

Everything is going right for Peter, he has his girlfriend who he loves to bits, and he has good mates and is loving life in general. But one day all that changes when an unexpected Turn changes everything leaving Peter’s life turned upside down. Betrayed and hurt will he seek revenge? How will he deal with his feelings and what outcome will they lead to.

God this has draggggeddd oooooonnnnnn…. but it’s nearly finished. Last time I wrote up about things were only starting to get going (6 months ago?!).

Since then we have:

We hope to have a screening sometime in the next few weeks!

I’m going to give this place an overhaul and see if I can post more often this year!!

I won’t be posting every day but I might try once a month or week if pushing it…. we’ll see how things go!

Jeez, I’m really bad at this blogging craic! August was the last time I posted!

I have been quiet busy though, Turn is almost finished! I expect it to be all done and dusted after Christmas. Just trying to short out the soundtrack.

As regards My Ball and The Hitchiker, no progress! I do hope to shoot My Ball after christmas but The Hitchiker has been put of for now.

Have another short also in development. Oh and in the past few months I have also done an edit to “Forever in Love” my Feature script. yay!

The short films My Ball and The Hitchiker have entered the pre-production stage. These are two short shorts with My Ball being about a three minute short while The Hitchiker is only about a minute.

With this in mind I plan to shoot the two of them on the same day. I have as a result changed the location in My Ball but this won’t affect the story.

No idea as to when shooting will be as of yet.

With both films being shot outdoors and for the most part MOS, very little crew will be needed, infact I could shoot the two on my own, but I’m sure I get one or two people in just for the sake of it!

Alas something has happened with my short Turn. Not much but something. I have done very little with it in the past few months. Last week my DOP my down to have a look at it.

He was expecting it to be awful, as I had told him I wasn’t very happy with it. There were a few lighting and sound issues. My biggest concern was that they were in two of the biggest scenes in the film.

Of course it wasn’t as bad as he had expected but it still needs some work to get it right. I’ve another guy coming down in a few weeks so hopefully he maybe able to do some colour correction.

Shame I don’t have any photos of the shoot, don’t know what happened to the stills Photographer, because there were some beautiful scenes and locations.

I can’t believe how fast the summer is going, July is almost over now and no, I have done very little of what I had planned so far.

I have been pretty busy of late with video jobs recording matches so the coaches can analyse where they’re strengths and weaknesses are. Got three this week alone! Not the most exciting but it beats the hell out of doing weddings. Also talks of a few corporate video in the pipeline.

While these aren’t the reason you get into filmmaking, they pay! Making shorts films doesn’t! and can maybe go someway to get you’re next film project of the ground.

The past few weeks have been taken up with other interests that have taken up alot of my spare time hence the lack of posts. Will soon sort that out!

Got a few editing jobs coming up! YAY
