It’s with intense pride, relief and joy that I’m happy to announce that the With A Little Help From Our Friends DVDs have been posted (and hopefully most arrived by now)! They were posted out last week and I’ve had some people telling me that they’ve shown up on their doorsteps, which is really wonderful to …
I know what you’re thinking. It’s been a billion years since we shot With A Little Help From Our Friends, so why haven’t we seen anything in awhile? I want to thank everyone for their patience and support whilst we’ve been waiting for this to come around. And it has come around. I’m very pleased …
I thought it was time for an update on With A Little Help From Our Friends and how it’s going in post production. I’ve had a couple of people ask me about it, so thought I’d give you guys some updates on where we’re at. The cut is picture locked. This means that there will …
Location is a really important aspect of low budget filmmaking that a lot of writers may not take in to consideration when writing a short.

Hey gang, I’m currently on restricted internet access for the next week, but I promise I’ll finish off my posts about auditions and introduce you to the cast I settled on really soon!

Hi all! Sorry for the radio silence over the past few weeks. I’ve been busy gallavanting around the world with precious little time to post to the blog. However, all is not lost and you guys get a post today! Whilst I’ve been away, Jack and Craig have been chasing up various bits and pieces. …
Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you’re all wonderfully well and being wonderfully creative and productive. I’m very excited to announce the fact that ‘With A Little Help From Our Friends’ is 100% back on track, thanks to a couple of people I met at the Guerilla Filmmakers’ Masterclass at the start of June. Say G’Day …
Two friends of mine and I are trying something new and different. Just for fun. Jamie has popped up on this blog before (and he also has his own blog). Leilani hasn’t (but she, too, has her own blog). One thing we all have in common (other than how awesome we are) is that we …
Sorry the post is a little later than usual this week, I’ve been otherwise distracted with very good things that have very little to do with filmmaking (i.e. my family flying halfway across the world to see me). As a result, today’s post will be a short update on what’s going on with the film. …
Rewrites. A word that sends a shiver down the spine of most writers. Not me. But I’m a bit weird like that. I’ve just done what I hope is the final rewrite on With A Little Help From Our Friends. I’m not planning on doing any more until I’ve locked in what’s actually happening with …
