Seven Minutes Continued

I just received an e-mail letting me know my film has been short listed to play at the Cardiff film festival!

Seven Minutes

So this morning was an interesting one! I woke up to around 60 comments on twitter about my film, all of which were positive! from other horror film companies and directors that are on twitter. 

I have also received a couple of reviews on the film also.

As well as a couple of small reviews to add to my poster from a horror film review website Promotehorror.com and also a horror film magazine called Shock Horror Magazine.

Also! I have been asked by an online Horror TV show If they can show my film on their website called Indiehorror.tv and I am now in talks with another internet TV show called Shiver TV about getting it played on their website too.

This was all amazing to wake up to this morning and so I thought I would share it with you all :)

DIRECTION UNIT: Story

Today I finished the script for my 3 minute episode of "A Park Story" I found it quite hard to write as it is something I have never attempted before and it was out of my comfort zone. However I am glad of this and now I have tried it. I am now waiting to hear back from a couple of different actors and then its all systems go from there on!

My New Film

So I released my new film "Seven Minutes" which I made over the summer. It has quickly gotten around the horror film websites and it is also getting quite a name for itself also. So far the film has gotten into one film festival and I am waiting to hear from a couple more.

Direction Unit: Story

Ok so after our group crit session on Monday my idea has completely changed from the original unorganised idea I had in my head.

My theme is Speed and my prop is Teapot

I want my characters to be a new age bohemian style and their main interest is having a good time, loving each other and drugs. They go for a tea party in the park where the tea is laced with vodka. After a couple cups of "tea" the man pull out a bag of speed and empties some of the power inside. This will be the first time the female character has tried speed. The male character pushes the cup at her pressuring her into drinking it. After a couple of cups each the effects of the speed start to take effect. Everything starts spinning and getting quicker. The man looks over at the girl she is smiling but her face quickly drops. The girl looks at the man and reaches out to him before dropping to the ground. The man rushes to her side, her eyes are rolled back and she is motionless. He checks that she is still breathing and starts to preform CPR. The girl doesn't respond. He runs over to his bag and pulls out a bottle of water and starts pouring it down the girls mouth. The girls eyes flicker slightly open. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the packet of speed and throws it away. He picks up the girl and quickly makes his way out of the park yelling for help.


I went for a walk in the park and I have found the perfect place to shoot my episode. It has the bohemian look to it that I also want my characters to have.
