Catch up on Part One here. Knowing that Markus had the kind of giggles that makes everything hilariously funny, I took him out of the room, off set and calmed him down away from the rest of the cast and crew. He managed to regain enough composure to continue on with the scene – he …
Production: Day One; Part One
Day one of With A Little Help From Our Friends was a late start. Because the location we’d managed to get was a theatre school, they had students in there until 1pm. So we scheduled the call time to be at 1pm on Saturday and we planned to wrap at 5pm and shoot two (and …
Swapping, Changing, Compromising – Locations
Taking a break from talking about auditions and casting (although we’re nearly done there, I promise!), I thought I’d let you guys know what’s been happening with organising locations. About a month ago, I blogged about how we had managed to find a location but were still locking in dates. After casting, one of the …
Pre-Production: Organising Auditions; A Cautionary Tale
Operation: Playstation This week has been entirely flat out for me. Not only did we lose a day to a three day weekend (trust me, I am not complaining about that in the slightest!), but my ‘normal’ nine-to-five job has kicked up a notch in the past two weeks and it’s all go go go …

The Changing of the Guard
How lucky are you guys? You get TWO blog posts this week! This one is a bit of a sad post, really. After chatting to Oli, my producer as to whether or not Friends would actually be able to go ahead in July/August with me at the helm and him keeping me on track, he …
A Bit of a Speed Bump
It’s been a bit quiet on the blogging front for the past week or so due to lack of internet access and other various bits and pieces that are bubbling away in the real world which keep getting in the way of my virtual world. I hope that you’re all having wonderful fun whichever world …
