Demonstrable Deviation

It's been way too long since I rocked up here - many apologies. And the place looks like it could really do with a little dust and polish too...


I'm afraid I can't linger for very long as I have a couple of other things I need to attend to, but just in case you have been living on the moon or have taken a vow of social network silence, I thought I'd bring you up to date on the release of 'DEVIATION'. Yes, that's right - that was the film I popped off to produce just a smidgen over a year ago and is now imminently hitting the screens - all kinds of sizes and types of screen too.  


If you like your films on a big screen - the theatrical release is 24th February 2012; if you like your films on demand, downloaded, on DVD or BluRay, then the multiplatform release on 27th February is your date - but hey, you can even pre-order the DVD/BlurRay to arrive for then!  If you like films, but prefer to watch the c'lebs arrive for the premieres and parties then 23rd February is the date for you.  Watch this space for details of the premiere and a list of cinemas the film will be showing in...


It's all a bit of a weird time just now - a bit whirlwind-ish with so, so, so much to do and not nearly enough hours to do it in AND sleep.  But I know you lot, you'll be glad to hear I'm not just sitting back and enjoying it all: so I'll let you know I'm now in early prep for the next one, which we'll be shooting in April. 


More on that soon, but in the meantime (just in case you haven't seen it) here is the 'DEVIATION' trailer. 

Although lots of big online & supermarket retailers will also be selling it, these guys have it online so far...


Now be sure to pop in a pre-order for the DVD, won't you..?

CR!KEY - We're off!

For those of you who haven't seen recent Twitterage or haven't yet become fans of the Facebook site, the new film I'm Producing is called "CR!KEY VILLAINS".  I was intending to have a countdown to the shoot starting, but pre-production is all over and here I am, all lonely in the Production Office; everyone having fun on set.  [This, of course, is a total untruth as we are all having far too much fun, on and off set.  We are a very happy shoot, us lot. :0) ]

It's been a remarkably busy, but only sometimes stressful, few weeks of pre-production.  We have still managed to laugh on a daily basis (that says something) and although there are many details to be ironed out, therein lies the fun and games myself, Demi Jones (Producer), Michael Riley (Producer) and Margaret Matheson (Exec Producer) are yet to have - that is once I am through bowing at their jaw-dropping omnipresences.

With our locations spread over many parts of London as well as Southend, the scale of shoot is wide enough - but not once will we let our dear Writer/Director, David Hughes, be bothered with such trivial details, or allow him to move away from his position of picturesque, calm demeanour under extreme pressure. 

Last week, we had the cast read through and photo shoots which allowed colourful 3D life to billow into these, up until now, entertaining but 2D black and white characters on a page.  The actors started to fill out the personas and possess the words on the paper as their own - and suddenly a whole new world was emerging.  The big, small-time crooks; the ganstas; the girls; the cars; the guns; the houses; the money - the whole new world of the CR!KEY VILLAINS.  But, "Who are the Cast?", I hear you shout!  Who exactly are the CR!KEY VILLAINS? Well - you'll have to stay tuned for that.

If you'd like to keep up to date with me and the world of the CR!KEY VILLAINS shoot, then head over HERE - the Producer's Blog is where I'll be for a little while (starting soon) and I will do my best to bring you the news as it happens.

Hope to see you there. But remember: "Lie. Cheat. Steal. Whatever it takes to have a nice day."

Laters, beautiful people.
