Safety in Numbers

6th April 2017

My Sci-fi Musical Screenplay ‘Safety in Numbers’ was recently shortlisted in the Nashville Film Festival screenwriting competition. I applied to two festivals last year and was shortlisted in both. So it’s wonderful to know that people are responding positively to my writing. We’re hoping to get a director attached this year and eventually perform a […]

New Year

6 January 2015

I think everyone has a tendency to start the New Year reflecting on the previous one. I’m no different, although this time of year never feels new to me.  I prefer celebrating the Chinese New Year as it feels one step closer to spring and the return of the light.   For now, my very brief […]

Walking on Sunshine Reviews

23 June 2014

‘Walking on Sunshine’ has had three very nice reviews so far in Hollywood Reporter, Variety and The Mirror.  I think they totally got what the film was supposed to be; deliberately light and silly and fun.  I’m sure some critics will hate it, especially if they are not fans of musicals, but audiences should already […]

MPAA 2012 Statistics

10 March 2014

The Motion Picture Association of America has published its movie going stats for 2012.  There are some interesting figures to pull out.  Firstly, and this continues the conversation about Women in Film, female attendance is up from 2011 by 1%.  So 52% of women attend cinema versus 48% of men.  This is in relation to […]

Best Oscar Dress

7 March 2014

I wasn’t particularly wowed by the dresses at the Oscars this year.  I think they have a tendency to look so ‘samy’ and don’t really say much about the person wearing them.  This was my favourite.  At least it had something interesting going on with the pleated ruffles at the shoulder.

Changing the World: One Pad at a Time

5 March 2014

No, not the IPAD.  This is an unbelievable article from the BBC about one man’s fight to bring affordable sanitary pads to women in poor communities around the world.  Once you get past the ‘ick’ factor (and if you’re a guy, I know you’re feeling it…as for us women, well, we deal with this all […]

And Dark Was The Day

7 November 2013

Wow, it suddenly got dark. Really fast. Which never ceases to amaze me.  It is especially noticeable this year since I’ve just returned from working in Italy, where it was sunny, ALL THE TIME.  Too sunny as a matter of fact.  I kind of like the green and grey of this water soaked land.  Yes, […]

In The News

5 April 2013

KAMALA HARRIS and HER LOOKS Obama was recently criticized for noting that Kamala Harris, the California US Attorney General, is attractive. I really don’t see what the problem is with this. He first complimented her on her intelligence and skill, and then on her looks. Clearly these things are all part of the same package […]

New Year News (late)

5 April 2013

Whew, Autumn passed with barely a whisper, and included many, many night shoots for The World’s End plus a move into a new pad with my fella. My little World’s End soldiers braved the cold and the rain and the hours of walking in unison mighty well. Thank you so much, Mandy L, Mandy M, […]

Ruins, Rumbling Tummies & Writing

16 April 2012

I just returned from a trip to the Yucatan in Mexico, following an all out, balls to the wall period of work on Speed of Light, and an Orange Advert shoot. Incidentally, the Orange job was passed on to me by the excellent choreographer Supple (from Kryptic Movement) who was also one of my first […]
