Thank you so much to the cast, crew and friends who came down yesterday for the shoot for The Opera Singer. The film is part of the Kino Challenge at London Short Film Festival. The challenge is to make a film in four days and on screening an element of the soundtrack must be performed live. The Opera Singer’s performance will actually be interactive using technology and audience participation, but I can’t say any more without giving the game away. Screening on the 14th, hopefully followed by other festival appearances later in the year.

The film cost around £100 and a lot of favours, and was turned around in roughly 48 hours thanks to a brilliant team, including
Cast: Lindsay Richardson, Pete J Collis, Hugo Danino

I’m off to Frankfurt and Berlin for another shoot for Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. This time it’s a really exciting story about a frantic 36 hours over a weekend in which lawyers in these two cities drafted the bill to facilitate the bailing out of Germany’s biggest banks, thus stabilising Europe’s biggest economy.

I think it’s going to make a great credit crunch documentary – watch this space!

Update: The film is now complete.

I am really honoured and excited to have been selected as a finalist by the British Council in their Young Creative Entrepreneur awards.

In particular the panel enjoyed my work for Fortis, and the top secret project I am developing with another big brand.Read More
