Thoughts for the day

It’s only just begun…

Well, we had the first production meeting on Thursday last week.  Since then, I’ve been in a number of meeting trying to move things forward.  Dylan has been a star and done the first schedule, Simon [2] and Simeon are working their botties off getting the script in a more stable state and Simon [1] is working out budgets.  Then we speak to distributors and investors, actors and actresses.  It’s all go, it really is.

Cough Splutter

You can tell when your run down though, a simple ru of the mill cold is still troubling me after nearly three weeks, I tell you it’s not on.  I’m sure getting home at 3am and being woken up at 7.30am has not helped me too much either. I’ve printed out the latest script and I sit here trying to get myslef writing.  Come on Chalky, get on with it.

Arrrrrr

It’s On

So over the next week or two I’ll know that ‘No Balls’ is a go.  Its an exciting and frustrating time, as funds dry up I’m just about to hit the real deal, it will though be touch and go for me. One of the best feeling though is the sheer amount of people that believe in the project, that beleive in me.I spent yesterday with Sal, a special effects make up artist who is very, very talented.  She is designing the lady suit for the main actor to wear.  The most impressive thing for me is that she has chased me on the project and wants to get involved early on.  It’s fantastic.

It’s Off

It’s around this time that you learn who your friends really are, the ones that stand by you.  It’s a tough time, the stress is almost unbearable at times and I do try to keep myself calm, but it is not always wuite that simple.  As you will know I also had two crashes recently, and I beleived that all the things I wanted to achieve where about to be taken away form me on the verge.  I was withing moments of being killed, but was not.  The car fared well, I fared slightly less well. My back is awful and my ribs hurt.  I’m not trying to get sympathy right now I’m still going to the gym, just being more gentle.I’m still typing, though that make me ache.  But just because I’m arrying on does not mean it does not hurt and it was not scary.  I struggle to believe anybody would be able to think like that.

Keep on Moving

So I just have to work towards the film and hope that it all happens.  I think it will. you?

Life Affirming

I’m not sure how often we really realise just how fragile our lives are. A couple of weeks ago I had two near death experiances in a car, and that has made me realise just how happy I am to be doing something that I love.

Filming

For The Last Seven  wrapped on Sunday, which felt awful if I’m honest.  It became a real family event, and I know that I will be working with those guys or most of, time and time again.

Laters,
