News for this Autumn.

It has been awhile since I posted a single post here, coming this 25th October 2012 I will release the Documentary for Independent Artists. I got some more news on both Nemesis the Hunter's Mark and the short film, Hardest to Survive. I am concentrating on directing and lyric writing at the moment, I apologise for the delay of releasing the mix-tape and EP but at the moment it is a holding pattern and more recording will continue by the end of this year. I cannot say anything else about the short film but I will say that production is approaching swiftly now and the first issue of the comic is slowly coming to fruition and is likely to be published online by the end of the year.

 

Until the next post,

Documentary: Independent Artists Showcased on Vimeo.

Hello everyone, hope you enjoyed the Olympics! I have come back to announce that my Documentary will be released on the video sharing site Vimeo and not on YouTube. It will likely be released in October for the Black History Month celebration. Below is a short 30 second teaser of the Documentary. Unfortunately, there were some technical difficulties, which is the reason it was not released two months earlier and this site is better suited for this kind of presentation. All the guests have been featured on it.

Update Video #2.

This is my second update video for all of my projects. Sorry for the lateness, it took awhile to process on Youtube, but it's right here. The Flyplann interview has been shot but is just being edited at the moment. I got some more news for you apart from what I'm about to tell you here. 4 months ago, I shot a documentary about independent artists and it is being edited right now, it is about how artists in the music industry struggle between signing a record deal or acting out on their own. That will come up here soon and is almost finished. In the video, I'm talking about what is going on between the Go Wonders Team with all the projects I mentioned, about Nemesis the Hunter's Mark#1 and both my EP, Rule's Broken and my mix-tape, Breakin' Da Rules. Don't be shy, take a look.

That's it for now later,

Shoot Your Story Winner.

Remember the Shoot Your Story event I told you about quite some time ago for Lewisham Council in association with the Wake Up team? Well, two weeks ago, a ceremony was hosted at the Civic Suite for the runners up and prize winners. It was for participants to film a 2 minute film showing how people are doing something for the community and showcasing their directing skills. I would like to say in first place was Matthew Easy from Ezee Media who got a chance to get work experience in film production company and see many celebrities. I give him a round of applause for that. In second place was someone from a community center, I apologise for not remembering his name and I made it to third place. Both of us won prizes too and was really good. I thank everyone for inviting me there.

Later fans,

Interlude V.

Welcome back, fans. I hope you enjoyed The New Kid Pilot last week, there will be more from Jstaarz like that very soon. I have spoke to Kieron Boothe about the colours and it is going to be sorted out this week. Another thing as well is remember the T-shirts I promised, well I finally have somewhere I can get them. It will take awhile to sort out the ones for Hardest to Survive short film but I can do the ones for Nemesis the Hunter's Mark. Expect it to be done soon and not only that, Hoodie's will be done too. Winter is fast approaching and I'm sure many of you would like some clothing for this Christmas. I will announce the market place where you pick up the items sometime in December. Prices will be on my website, so look out for that. As for the anime trailer, I am set to visit the lead animator shortly where I am to present storyboards. Issues of the Nemesis the Hunter's Mark series will be scheduled bi-monthly.

Take Care,

Director's Cut: Hardest to Survive part 5.

Everyone, welcome back to my blog. I am here to discuss what is going on with the short film, Hardest to Survive. Well, I'm afraid the long awaiting film will have to take a back seat for a while longer as plans shall move forward to be released sometime next year in 2012. The reason is due to unforeseen technical difficulties which have delayed production this Autumn and pre-production not yet accomplished. Test shoots were supposed to be completed a while ago from this Summer but it was not possible, my plans are to complete them by the end of this year and start production from February to March 2012 for a Spring release. I have discussed my overall plans with the rest of the team from Ezee Media and they are in agreement to go ahead with this decision. I hosted a meeting last week with all the actors about this to sort out the problem and I am looking to share all of their comments around to tackle this situation.

Although, this is unfortunate, do not worry I am getting more assistance from other studios and investors willing to donate and finance this project. I seek to change people's minds about problems we face in the climate now such as distress, peer pressure and more stuff affecting young people today. The good news is Jstaarz's project The New Kid is ready to start filming this week so at least you have some kind of treat for many to look out for. Also, I got news from a friend of Rommel's who is lettering my comic book series and he has had trouble of his own which has slightly impacted my progress on Nemesis the Hunter's Mark. He experienced some technical glitches as well, I am getting in contact with him as soon as possible in order to get things in motion. However, the animated trailer based on this is going smoothly. I will come back with a small brief on who is playing Henry's mother.

I'll be right back,
