Okay, so I guess every blog has to start with the 1st post so I might as well start by telling you what we’ve done, doing and going to do.
Firstly my name is Fraser Fortune, I’m 36 father of 4 year old twin boys and a short film director. I’ve been working in sound since leaving college with only a break to work as a Croupier which was an experience. I got in to film by recording theatrical shows and more recently writing and directing short films. While working on my first film I met actor Richard Hollingworth and we started knocking around some ideas and writing a few things one of which has come to fruition.
We took the approach of relying on the talents of professionals and letting them do what they do best. We gathered the cast together and let them adlib with limited guidance. The results were far better than scripting from scratch could produce and saved hours. It’s set in a pub and although we’ve located several and had permission to film, they all have their Christmas decorations up so we’re holding back on filming until the new year.
It’s the first part of a trilogy so watch this space to see the results and find out what happens with the other films. You can also click the links below to see what we’ve done it the past, see some photos and follow us on other sites.
