Hungry!

Well it's been a while since an update, and I've been busy. As usual, I can't say too much about these projects until they're done, or released, or until I have permission.

But what I can tell you, I'll tell you.

I've done three short films since March, as well as other work, and they're all in post-production at the moment. In the first, I play the neighbour, an over-protective mother, who, in her behaviour, causes one of the two main characters to rethink her relationship with her own son. It was a pleasure to work with this lovely young crew in Sevenoaks, and, having seen a rough copy of the final edit, can't wait to share the video here. It was exactly how I pictured it when I read the script.

The second short film was a silent. I missed being able to audition for the main role, but I was so interested in the project, I was cast as a friend to the main female character. It isn't really more than a walk-on, honestly, but, again, I worked with a lovely crew and cast, we were beautifully made up 1950s style, and shot in black and white, on Super 16, so I imagine it's going to look wonderful, once I get to see it, at the end of the summer.

The third - another script I liked as soon as I read it. My part in it is quite small, but, it's okay if it's something I want to be part of.... well, to a degree.... I spent a lot of my time on set enjoying watching the talented actor playing the main role. The director was putting together a showcase/portfolio of his talents, and once it's ready to view, I will be keen to share it.

I've been for a few auditions where I feel I wasn't focussed on the day, and that's something I really need to think about. If you're not great at the audition, you won't be able to be great in the job!

However - hot off the press - I did get one I went for, and I'm really excited about it. It's different from the kind of roles I usually play, but I also think it's well suited to me, and that I'll have a lot of fun with it. All I can say at this point is that it's a 3-hander, a comedy, that will shoot at the end of the summer. The two young guys I will be working with seem serious but fun and open-minded, and I hope I can exceed their expectations! It was one of those kind of scripts where I actually laughed out loud, so, that's a great sign, and, looking at some of their past wok, it should be great for the viewer too.

So, that's that for now - videos to post up on this site in the not-too-distant future, and work in the pipeline. But it's never enough!
