Mmmm, depth perception. Soul Searcher has not been selected for the Raindance Film Festival. It’s also been rejected by Toronto and Telluride in the last week or two.

Arrrr! Greetings, landlubbers! I be wearing an eye patch due to an operation I had on my eyelids this afternoon, hence my piratical turn of phrase (and probable multitude of typos).

Shiver me timbers if good old George down in Marin County ain’t granted me free clearance to use the Star Wars toys in the scenes in Joe’s flat.

Cows be wily animals. Never trust a cow.

Okay, so I just found out that the major Hollywood studio mentioned in June 21st’s entry has passed on Soul Searcher. Hardly surprising. They still love my work though, so there might be an inroad for my next project. The saga continuums.

Three years ago: just got back from New York and trying to decide whether to go ahead with the film on a microbudget since James had dropped out. Two years ago: looking for a costume maker. One year ago: recording sound effects and dodging druids on Dinedoor Hill. Today: just got back from two weeks of shooting nights on a horror film, having finished the first draft screenplay of The Dark Side of the Earth in my spare time – the doorway to a whole new world of pain – and wondering if Soul Searcher is ever going to get sold. Check out the press page for details of a couple more articles that have gone up on the web about Soul Searcher this month, particularly a glowing review on Only Foreign Film.
