April 1st...

... is perhaps not the best day to start telling people "I left my job and now I'm making films" but it is true! That's what's been going on in the friends filter for the last couple of months, my last day was Thursday.

I had probably the most thoughtful leaving gifts ever - a book I'd had on my Amazon wish list but the colleague didn't know that when he picked it, a director's chair with my name printed on it, and one person gave me an amazing gift - an 8mm camera she'd had lying around forever. 1960s but in great condition. Need to figure out how to work it now!

I've got a good head of momentum up and am rushing straight into doing sound recording this weekend for Sci Fi 48 hour challenge, then learning and doing sound design for a short that someone in my filmmaking group made. It's a good film so I have high standards to immediately acquire and live up to...

After seven years, four months and three weeks, it's time for a change.

Good luck. Let me know if you need a grey bearded extra.

If we do, could you be at Chesterton for any of 1-8pm today? Poss Sunday morning? Very late notice I know but... Should we let you know about future projects?

Yes, for some of that time window. I have emailed your gmail account.

Wonderful. It is so cool to see someone pursuing a dream. So many people must wish they have that opportunity. So pleased for you.
