My friend and ongoing collaborator Irena Dragic (.dirdproductions) recently brought me to this project. It is the directorial debut of Aml Ameen, who you might have seen in Kidulthood, a brit film that is already becoming a cult among teenagers. Irena shot the behind the scenes and I have contribuited with my editing skills.

At the end I managed to get together some material and prepare myself a showreel. Here is the result below:

I have been rarely moving any of my “on hold” projects and it seems I lack of inspiration to move them forward. I recently tried to write a quick script to do a short film for my Master application but I am making a mess with the story already. I am a bit stuck writing to be honest.

In any case, I have had the great opportunity to work in the a music video I co-directed with Irena Dragic where I also had the opportunity to work using Motion Graphics; it was an experience!! it took quite a lot time but I’ve learnt a lot, and I am very happy with the result! Thanks to QBoy and Icykal for this oportunity!

They have also published one of the videos Irena and I shot for the blog Queersighted (there are a few waiting there: we’ve had the chance to meet Bananrama, Natalie Imbruglia, The Veronicas, Gossip and Gabriella Cilmi in the past few months!), you can check the latest (G. Cilmi) below

Also, I released 2 “private” videos from vimeo, the ones we produced for the latest Film Festival we organized, The FilmMet Awards (who know if there will be a third festival…). Nick is simply hilarious on them, he should do more acting; he was write in Mimesis indeed (^.^)

Este año con la compra del iPhone estrené algo muy util: el bloc (no confundir con blog) de notas; una aplicación amarilla que es como la lista de la compra. Y de hecho pongo la lista de la compra ahí… Que, como vengo de una familia que se olvida el horno encendido todo el día, el perro a la salida del supermercado, o a un amigo a la entrada de un cine, mejor no me explayo con la verdadera utilidad que le estoy dando a infinitas listas que nunca acabo por consumar.

A lo que iba. Esta amarillenta aplicación tiene ciertas utilidades. En ella guardo varias listas que han ido creciendo durante todo el año, y de la cual estoy bastante contento de haber podido guardar. ¿Por qué? Pues porque este ser que se olvida de traer ese DVD que tenía que devolver a esa persona desde hace miles de meses (y que para colmo queda para devolvésela sin llevar el objeto consigo) tiene la curiosa manía de encontrar inspiración en los momentos más variopintos.

Again I get delayed on updating my own blog, and now I don’t even remember what I’ve been doing so lately.

To start I think I never mentioned that we had been shown our Go Team short film Mimesis at the Portobello Film Festival, which was a nice thing given that there is still some dialogues are still unintelligible (It is a real shame what happened to the original footage on an external hard drive that -also- broke long ago. Maybe one day, with some free time, I fix some bits of the film in regards to the sound)
