Never Forget is a short, part of a british competition and if it wins will be part of the feature film “50 Kisses“. It is also the first film I directed and was a director of photography (yes both at the same time). As you

So, we’ve been quiet. You cannot fail to notice this. Truth be told we grossly underestimated how much time and effort the post production and tie up process would take for 50 Kisses. Why? Well, for one we have a team of volunteers and are

Better late than never… Four months past the deadline, I’m wheezing to the finish line with my take on popular 50 Kisses script, ‘The Moment’. Actually, two Moments as we filmed two complete versions, our talented actors Noel Bateman and Terence Drew swapping guns to

“It’s like not being able to enjoy your weekend because you have homework to do.”  That’s how I described running my blog Two Pages a Week recently to a producer. A feeling I think most of us can relate to but one to which I

The 50Kisses competition has entered a quiet period, as those in charge of creating a feature film consisting of many separate and, often, very different short films beaver away at the seemingly impossible task. Roughly 130 films sit idle, waiting to hear whether they have

The making of 50 Kisses has been a long road.We’ve learned a lot as we have travelled from script competition, to film competition to post production. One of the things we have been pleasantly surprised by is the amount of engagement and affection for the

So we have been a little quiet for the last couple of months as we have been beavering away at post-production on 50 Kisses. I sat today with editors Simon Reglar and Ricky Milling and watched what was pretty close to a fine cut of

We have been working away on the edit of 50 Kisses and we have had to batten down the hatches in order to get it done. And we still have a long way to go. Sadly, we still cannot reveal the shortlist as that will

As the 50 Kisses song initiative draws to a close, I thought I would share some of my personal observations about the entrants, what we can learn from them, and how we can apply those lessons to our own scripts and films when submitting to

Saturday afternoon found me squatting in my bathtub with a digital camera, distorting my spine and kicking up my sciatica. My wife Kerry was on the toilet, Kaden was at the sink, and a hazardously thin girl named Jamie was struggling to reach in with

Part 1: How It All Came About This whole thing started when I attended a scriptwriters event back in June. Props must go to Euroscript, who host them for free every couple of months, as an incentive to sign up to their courses (which, to

I came across the 50 Kisses competition two days before the script stage was about to close, and I told myself, “I have to do this.” Not only is it an amazing catalyst for up-and-comers’ careers, but getting to collab with writer’s and filmmakers all

50 Kisses post production is in full swing and we are looking for some songs for both the end titles and the trailer. Are you a composer? A songwriter? A band? Do you know anyone whose work would fit in 50 Kisses? Or someone who

I am still dazed by the experience afforded by the 50 Kisses competition. I stumbled across the competition quite by accident, and immediately envisioned the story I would set out to tell. It was one of those moments when later asked ‘where did you get

Last week we had the cast and crew screening for ‘Colton’s Big Night’. The showing was in London at the Genesis Cinema. It was a wonderful night with all the cast and lots of the crew members turning up to see their hard work on

After my post a few days ago about the future of 50 Kisses, and after much consultation, deliberation and thinking, we have some announcements to make. Many of you contributed to the blog post – and we were blown away by the passion, commitment to
