Honey and Razorblades update

Eventually we've managed to get some money through thanks to our producers Bigger Pictures which means we can now actually pay Lewis, our editor, for all his hard work. Hooray!! It also means that we can get him in the office everyday to get this film finished! We're not letting him out till he's done!! We're also plying him with regular latte's and packets of jammy dodgers so he seems quite pleased about it.

The Shadow Orchestra World Tour!

Well kind of... more a trip to Leeds university for their first gig outside of London! Still though, its good to get some northern backing and it was a fun road trip by all accounts. (Apart from the parking ticket at the very end!)

Keeping watching, they'll be playing in town near you in no time!

Anya Loves Honeybunny

We've started work on a new project, with Juliet Cowan (This Life, Familly Affairs and various yakult ads!). It's a documentary called 'Anya loves Honeybunny'.

Anya is in her forties and has Down's Syndrome. She's sweet-natured,
vulnerable and vivacious, prone to wearing too much make up and dressing up.
Her partner Paul is also in his forties and happily describes himself as
having learning difficulties. They live together in a flat in west london.

The film will look at how these two actually have something that a lot of people yearn for. Here are two quirky loving human beings enjoying life and giving each other tender support and love; accepting each other exactly as they are.

Last Sunday we started filming for a small teaser film during Anya's birthday party. Their flat is truely amazing. There are hundreds of photographs and random newspaper articles covering the walls of the flat which makes it seem like you're walking into a huge scrapbook.

We're really excited about the project so we're now just working on how we're going to approch their story and how to structure that over a half an hour film.

We'll keep you posted with how its going.
