The Dark Side of the Earth: February 9th, 2007

As you have probably sensed, things are not going well. I’m trying to attach another writer, but that seems to be just as difficult as attaching an actor. Again, it’s Catch 22: the agents don’t want to know unless there’s money already in place. Screen West Midlands don’t know whether they will be able to run the Production Development Fund this year.
Things are looking better for Soul Searcher. I’ve just signed a new deal including the US rights, and the feature length behind-the-scenes doc, Going to Hell, has also been picked up for independent distribution via tinternet and possible TV broadcasts overseas. Ironic that the easiest feature film I’ve ever made (I’m talking about G2H, not SS, obviously) should prove the most popular.
