I got a nice surprise this week. A lovely inscribed glass award arrived from the Toronto #ReelHeART International Film and Screenplay Festival. ..and another award for my “Best of Intentions” screenplay.

That’s also the screenplay award hanging off the screen in the background. The Festival and the awards were just about a month ago, but it’s been such a full on month since with sooo much editing to complete, with tight deadlines, that I haven’t had time for it to really register or sink in.
I’ve spent most of the month in a darkened room slaving over a hot monitor …apart from a brief excursion on a tallship …as one does 🙂 and I did have my birthday, which seemed to last three days. ..bit of a blur. Still it was fun stuff to edit – The Script, Boyzone, Michael McIntyre.

And I did buy myself an awesome Color Calibrated 2560 x 1440 resolution Thunderbolt Monitor for my birthday. “the 27-inch ColorPrime is the next-generation Thunderbolt Display Apple never built.”
Anyway I digress..
Another surprise this week was that my short script “Late Request” (written about my awesome sister Nicky) has got through to the quarterfinals (update) semifinals for the follow up to 50Kisses “Create50 50 Moments Of Courage and Kindness
It’s written about a carcrash .. that’s not Nicky …well not most most of the time. 🙂 …and I have the car ready to crash and film ..Thanks Ian. So whether I get through to the finals or not I still mean to film it.
Now I have to get back to editing the 20 minute film we shot in Toronto.
