Polish TV!

As part of the promotion of Quest Europe and its screening there, Jay and Kay Save the World! the whole movie was screened last night on Polish TV! Rah! You can check out RTV Lubuska here.

Yes, I will be in Zielona Gora in a couple of weeks for Quest Europe, and next week is the excitement of our UK premiere in Scotland, which I will also be attending!

More news is coming soon...

The Production Meeting

Always, before submitting anything to an organisation or company, a good brain storming is needed.

I would love to say that this would take place in a funky diner with burgers, fries and a shake while the kids play double dutch and dance around the juke box. Of course, the reality is far more prosaic. Cups of tea, lots of paper and spider diagrams.

I am a huge fan of spider diagrams. While most people jerk off on charts, I see things through loops. I don't know how or why, it is just how my brain works. I blame being left handed for the fact that I see things this way, more in spaces, morerandom than through flowing charts and mediums which make me switch off. It is also a lot less logical to think this way, bu in the end, everything fits together

Spreadsheets - pah...and now, time to do my spreadsheets!

Caution Wet paint - The Kinkiness restarts!

As Jay and Kay Save the World has come to the end of its festival run, it is now time to focus on the next stage of CWP's development. I will be keeping you informed on what I do.

First the process that started development last year of a complimentary TV series to prequel 'The Movie'; to lodge themselves in between the webisodes and the movie with regards to the cannon is well underway.

I will also (finally) put Jay and Kay Save the World online in the next two weeks. This is part of the strategy of developing the TV series. Save the World is the most professional looking (and funniest) of the CWP series so far. Despite the fact it was done with a budget of ZERO\1 Note that, nothing!

Okay, maybe I am blowing my own trumpet, but I am incredibly proud of Save the World. It has gone international to film festivals abroad, which has been great for me as a director to see how audiences outside the UK react to CWP. Abd it is time for the rest of the world to freely see Save the World. Give me a couple of weeks. A redesign of the website is also happening.

However if you are either in Glasgow or Zielona Gora then you can join me at either to see CWP on the bigger screen...

The Guru - Episode 3

As a film director, I have been incredibly busy of late. Some commercial projects which have proved lucrative has taken up a lot of time. I have also been very busy with the distribution of Irfan and the preparation for next month's Quest Europe film festival.

So it has been far too long since I have completed a Guru episode, so I am quite proud to have squeezed it in.

The Guru (Episode 3) Spend, Spend, Spend! from Charles Michel Duke.

This was the second episode I made with Raj who appeared as the Despot in the last Guru episode. Both Sippy (the Guru) and Raj had a great on-screen chemistry. It is very rare to meet two actors who compliment each other so well on the screen!

I will be shooting the next couple of episodes next week and after that will be planning the next guest actor's to come and join The Guru on his quest for enlightenment. But this morning, my main task is to convert PAL to NTSC. Expect a very geeky post in the next week on this...

I loved making this episode. It was a lot of fun to work with Sippy again and it was a real delight to be working with Raj for the first time ever. I hope to be working with them both in the near future. Ah, the plans and delight of this film maker - I absolutely love it!

This has got to be our most exotic destination to date and it is a fantastic feeling to break into the world's largest country! (June 14th-23rd)

Also we are to be screened at a Special Screening event at the Quest Europe Film Festival in Zielona Gora, Poland this summer. Dates are to be confirmed but watch this space for more details...

This is a great piece of news for us here at Babarouge and we hope that CWP's continued success is joined by the emergence of this year's short film Irfan as we strive to expand our presence at film festivals worldwide!
