Well after a lot of work over the last few weeks, the screen story / short novella is complete. We hit about 17.5k words, so just comes in the novella category. This is now out to our crews to get feedback and to see what they think. Let’s hope they don’t run and hide in the corner.

Looking for sponsorship is going well; a few places are interested, so let’s hope it goes to the next stage. If not we have at least gotten an awareness of the film out to these places. If you are interested in helping a hand full of ambitious students, become better film makers and one day great film makers, were no opposed to finding ways we can help each other out.

On the PR front we have had a meeting with our PR advisor and been told where we should be looking at this early stage. So over the next week it’s finding more places we can send our Press release to. Must remember all publicity is good.

Also we have had some very positive feedback from one of our producer friends; they like the idea, and will tuck into the novella over the next week. So fingers crossed we can pull something out of the hat, that isn’t a rabbit.

Well back to the grind.

Were well on the way with the third draft of the screen story, should have that finished by the end of tomorrow. Then it’s back over to me to work on the forth draft.

I have started out accounts spread sheet, and after one hiccup that wiped out a workbook I managed to get to something serviceable as an accounts sheet.

The main thrust of the day has been writing a stock letter to send out to companies for sponsorship and product placement. The hope is that we can get most of our props and wardrobe this way and if we’re lucky there might be some form of funding. If you are reading this and have some spare cash about and want to help ambitious students create a film you might like then get in touch.
