Well, I've had an idea for a film for quite sometime now. It came out of the blue, when I was busy making myself a cuppa at my day job. Standard procedure.
My colleague/friend took the opportunity, to accompany me to the little kitchen, to fill me in on some office gossip...I know, I know.
As I waited for the kettle to boil, she had me guess (successfully) who the topic of the day was about.
Rummaging around in the cupboard for teabags, I thought this little scenario would be the perfect setting for a film.
The way my mind works sometimes astounds even me.
Fast forward a few months, I took the plunge to put my little idea into action.
As I'd written and produced the piece, the next natural step might have been to plop myself in front of the camera.
But if I'm going to be honest, I thought I'd instead use the opportunity to explore other realms of the industry.
So for this particular project, I was writer/ director and producer.
I felt, not only will it give me a greater understanding of the different duties on a film set, I could focus on exacting the vision that was in my head.
Thankfully, the actors I approached agreed to the project, as well as a super fabulous and knowledgeable crew on board.
We shot in one day and the editing for both film and trailer* took place a few weeks afterwards. #QuickTurnAroundMuch?!
