Back In London…For Now

We’re back in London now (well we have been since Thursday actually) but we’ve been so lost in the time-zone change that we have only just recovered. On Wednesday we checked out of our hotel and went down to Hollywood Blvd where we found a Starbucks and a Subway…after coffee and lunch, we called a Taxi and went to LAX. We didn’t have to wait long before we were on the flight, but the flight itself was just a bit uncomfortable and loooonnnngggg. We couldn’t sleep at all on an overnight flight and when we arrived in London it was the next morning. So we had missed the whole night, and it was about 2 in the morning in LA. On Friday I got up at 4:30pm and had breakfast…that’s how messed up our body clocks were! Now though, we have just about recovered.

You may or may not have seen this already (USA Today Article) but John Magennis, the Hollywood TV Producer we met in LA has announced his plans to make a reality TV show following the making of Clovis Dardentor and the progression of the buyacredit.com project. This is hugely exciting news and we can’t wait to see how it all pans out. It would be amazing for the making of the film to be exposed to everyone… It will make it a TRULY open production that everyone can watch.

I’ve spent the weekend compiling some old footage for John, including some footage of the JAM shoot. Whilst doing this, I thought I might as well make a little behind the scenes video of the shoot, so I’m just finishing that up now. It is very rough and just slapped together; but it shows what happened on the two days and is quite good to watch.

Next week should be quite busy with celebrity developments, developments with the script, plans for the reality TV show, meetings for extra funding and we’re also going to approach some of our dream actors to play parts in the film. Should be exciting! Tomorrow we’ll do a video blog from the office to update you all (in more detail) on what we’re going to be up to next week. :)

In the meantime, here’s a few photos from Hollywood that I didn’t upload before:

Snow in the works…

Hmmmm. I’m typing this from home when I should be in our London office. So should Toby and Ben. But we’re all stuck at home. The snow that has hit (I say hit, I mean sprinkled over) the London area in the last few weeks has been a bit of a pain. I don’t mean to be a snow-scrooge, but I can’t say I’ll be sad when it all melts away.

Regardless, we’re still working together through the medium of Skype. There are some exciting new prospects to look forward to in the coming weeks as we get into the full flow of “Clovis Dardentor” development in our new production office. We also have the promise of support from a rather MASSIVE name in the movie industry. So please watch this space!

As many of you may have realized, our Weekly Newsletter has been away for a while, on extended leave. Our web host started to put a limit on the number of emails we could send out…which made a newsletter impossible :( . All the dedicated services seemed to be over-priced and so we invited the newsletter into the office and gently let him go. But it looks like he’ll be coming back, as we’ve found an affordable solution! However, it may be in the form of a Fortnightly Newsletter, to keep costs down. I’ll let you know as soon as this goes ahead.

Anyway, let’s hope the UK returns to its normal self soon. Grrrr. MELT SNOW! MELT!…

Humph. Just looked out of the window. It’s snowing again.
