Nemesis

If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know I’ve fretting about the upcoming arrival of the bebe, aka MICROSPAWN. Not for any birthing trauma reasons (though that is obviously a *bit* of a factor!) but because of my family’s GROUP DYNAMIC. As one tweeter pointed out a while ago, introduce a new character too quickly MID-SEASON and it could lead to CANCELLATION! After all, like any good scriptwriter’s family, we all have our CHARACTER ROLE FUNCTIONS: ME – I’m the protagonist, **obviously**. There aren’t enough female-driven comedies/tragedies/action-adventures/horrors/dramas and though the genre mixing is troubling, I’m hoping it will settle down… Read More »Nemesis

Deviation Poster

So… Feast your eyes on THIS: … I know! SQUEEEEEE, etc. You might have heard this is Danny Dyer “as you’ve never seen him before” – but HERE IS THE PROOF. Look at his eyes! Talk about channelling his inner serial killer. YIKES. And Anna is just awesome in human form, her face is so expressive, it’s like you can SEE HER THOUGHTS. I love them both in this film so much and am so proud to be associated with Deviation, the movie and whole team is fabulous! We’re not far off now… See more pics and info on the… Read More »Deviation Poster

Check out THE FINGERSPELLERS!

I’m pleased to announce Bang2writers Charlie Swinbourne and William Mager have been at it [creatively] again and produced the rather fabulous internet series, The Fingerspellers. The series premiered as part of the deaf magazine show Wicked, which was made by the deaf production company Remark! The Fingerspellers is a fun take on the whole Godfather *thing*, with “Deaffathers” replacing the central role. ‘Cos this is just any ordinary Mafiaoso family – these guys use fingerspelling, NOT guns, to protect The Family: whoever can get through the WHOLE ALPHABET gets the “final shot” and effectively KILLS their opponent. [For a run-down… Read More »Check out THE FINGERSPELLERS!

Guest Post: Hooked, The Musical by Max Kinnings

If someone had told me this time last year that I’d end up writing a musical, I’d have thought they were on drugs. Although I was involved with the marketing of various West End shows a few years ago as part of my thankfully now deceased career in the ad industry, I’m not a big fan of musicals as a genre. All that pointless bursting into song is really not my thing. But last November I bumped into an old face from my advertising days – Matthew James – in a pub in Soho and we got talking about what… Read More »Guest Post: Hooked, The Musical by Max Kinnings

SAFE – The Finished Film!

SAFE premiered on Facebook yesterday to the Safe Films group and other Facebookers, but if you’re not my Facebook friend (why not? Mmmmm?), you won’t have seen it yet… Obviously we had various constraints to deal with having zero money to make it and our actors were real troopers since it was FREEZING, plus the pathways and streets were actual ice rinks. Many thanks to them, my lovely boy Alf who plays Julie’s son and The Hub for being our lighting manager/moral support/fixer of random things/caterer! For photos of the shoot back in February, check out here. So without further… Read More »SAFE – The Finished Film!

Casting Call: SAFE (4 minute film)

Here we have it: yes that’s right, the first ever casting call on “Write Here, Write Now” for the first ever short film made by Bang2write and the fabulous Studio Schoque. This call is now live on Talent Circle if you prefer to go through them – or it will hopefully turn up on Shooting People’s Casting List tomorrow if you subscribe. But if you’re an actor and live in the South West of England (preferably the Bournemouth/Poole area), please do respond to this casting call… I promise we’ll be gentle! I’m afraid we can’t offer any dosh (just the… Read More »Casting Call: SAFE (4 minute film)
