Countdown to disaster? [shameless plug]

good god, finishing this movie has been like pulling teeth. except not as pleasurable.

mainly, the day-job workload has gone ballistic over the last couple of months meaning I've had precious little time to progress things.

however

the first and third week of December will mostly be dedicated to the cause so we should have product to hawk in 2005.

as ever, my blog is where I record my asinine thoughts and musings. feel free to leave comments to put me in my place, it'll make a difference from all the automated robot comments promoting gambling and drugs.

Another semi-milestone has been reached with the preparation of an Electronic Press Kit - not quite finished but enough to peruse. Leave a comment on this thread (good or bad) and I'll be sure to eventually mis-quote you on my production diary.

So check it out at your leisure:

Thanks!

Hey, hey, 16K! a new improved 2-minute trailer for Crooked Features is up at the archive.org -

Quicktime (8MB)

Windows Media (7MB)

Check it out and let me know what you think ...

I'm hooked. Do you have an eta for the finished film?

You're damn talented, Miker. I'd love to work with you one day, this looks like it was a riot of a shoot! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

God, we Brits do comedy good- I really hope Mark Gatiss or Matt Lucas snaps you up sometime soon- I ddin't spot Phil Cornell in there, did I? [img]wink.gif[/img] Certainly a "dead ringer"!

Richard, the film has been finished since early this year. I'm spending the rest of this year submitting it to festivals and talking to strangers to see how far I can get it. I have three main goals:
1) Break even ... eventually
2) Get it screened in at least one festival
3) Equal or better Chalk Hill Lives which got screentime on Richard&Judy
Anything else is a bonus.

The UK premiere is in Havant Arts Centre at the end of March.

Some credit has to go to Kevin who co-wrote and produced.

Tim, what can I say? I hope your tongue is planted firmly in cheek ....

I really hope I haven't made a trailer that is better than the movie itself.

Hampshire is a bit ou of the way for me I'm afraid. If it ever plays London, or failing that, there's a DVD available yet us all know.

Hey man it looks fun! Get some brandwith or something and upload the damn thing on the internet, I wanna see it!
