Good Girl

Hi all ,

Sorry it's been a little quiet in here lately but I've been busy doing work for my new short film "Good Girl".


This is the first of my 2011 "Express Films", that is , a bunch of quickly made short films , done with minimum crew (often just myself) and minimum fuss .
Hopefully the will be good and people will like them , but it's really an experiment in prolificacy .
They say that if you want to be a writer , then you should write x amount of words a day to hone your craft, even if not everything you write is great.
I figure the same can be applied to film , so in an effort to keep me moving and learning, I plan to do a fair bit of this type of fast turnaround movie making in 2011.

It will hopefully keep me limber and prepare me for the other big 2011 goal - The 1st feature film!
So , watch this space and feel free to join in ! 2011 Express Films!

Here are a couple of early , ungraded stills from "Good Girl" . I hope you like 'em.
More details etc , soon.
