My Left Knee... It could be an Oscar winner :D Well, I had another email through yesterday, and the accreditation "is all sorted". Now the trick is trying to work out how to get there and where to stay...

It's being looked into, but I doubt it. I'm not hugely fussed, to be honest. I wasn't originally going to go anyway, and it means I'll get a more visible birthday present from my parents on Friday :) There's always next year.

More info today. It's been submitted as part of a group of films, so only one person can be accredited. It's looking likely that Paul is accredited twice and can't go once.

Well, the person who was supposed to arrange it tells me (a couple of hours ago) that it can only be done for the director (which isn't strictly true, not to mention that Paul already has accreditation and can't go anyway). If it has already been done with that in mind (which isn't a definite)...

Looks like my Cannes jaunt is cancelled for this year, as I can't get my Short Film Corner badge arranged.

Yeah, what's with that? If you start watching 3 minutes in with no sound it looks like a public gang rape.

Don't act like you don't love it, Wiggy ;) I thought I'd asked in case you hadn't noticed me there. Yes, I am evil... Glad you liked Duty Calls, we found out on Thursday that it's off to Cannes Short Film Corner this year (dunno if I can afford to go though). I've seen Pow! before, but it...

I loved Mancattan. It's not without flaws - the sound and cinematography were slightly ropey - but the acting and script were superb. I had a chat with Colin Warhurst afterwards, and hopefully he'll try to get distribution. It's one of the better films I've seen this year (I liked it more than...

You're always welcome, Strawbs :D .

Perhaps I will... I read the interview with Emma Hickox in Moviescope and she said "It was the most terrifying film I've ever had to cut because there was so much great footage. Even now I'm thinking 'did I leave anything on the cutting room floor?' which was fabulous." It's true, there's a lot...

Sorry I missed it, especially as Duty Calls got Best Short! (I was DoP on it :D )

I got myself one of those Cineworld cards last month, so I've been watching pretty much everything. Slumdog Millionnaire (UK mostly) - $15,000,000 Very good, love the collision of cultures. Franklyn (France/UK) - $12,000,000 Some reasonably big names, a bit pretentious but I liked it. The...

Ah, those were the days...

Looks like I missed all the fun. Is it worth setting up a new thread, as the original purpose of this one seems to have been totally subverted... Film distribution. An issue. Yes. I had an interesting chat with Kate Taylor the other week, and she said "well, you need to support British films...

On the funding issue, I attended a Q&A with two Spanish directors at the weekend, and they were saying how hard it is to get funding in Spain - "There are around 200 feature projects all applying, and only 20 get the funding to be made." With odds like that, I feel like I should invest in a...

I would go, but I'll be at BIFF this weekend.

I agree with that final point. Whether the views on this thread are righteous indignation or simple abuse, surely everyone's time would be better served working together to make the best product possible? I have this script here... ;)

I don't usually do any planning until I have a full draft in place. I'm not too keen on working to a deadline - I guess that makes me a proper writer!

Happy belated birthday, Chris! If this was Logan's run you'd be dead :)

Interesting. Didn't realise Joe had been to the same uni as me...
