Time for an update

It's some time after 11 pm and I've just arrived home from the edit suite. That's when I thought: it's high time we had another one of those update things. The film is still very much underway, and we are getting closer by the minute. We've got another few nights of editing ahead of us. The plan is to get a working edit of the film off to the Cannes Film Festival by the end of the week. It'll be tight, but it's a good one to aim for.

I've got to say it's  a pretty big buzz to sit in front of a large telly and watch the scenes start to come alive and the characters come to life. Each step in the process now is about making it better and tighter and more awesomer.

Seth Lockwood, our editor, has been great. Editor by day, editor by night. Working into the night without a grumble. Seth's up from Melbourne this week so it's great to finally be able to sit in a room together and start to really refine the scenes. The Cannes short film duration maximum is 15 minutes, but thanks to everyone who contributed I've got about 14 minutes of credits to roll at the end. So yeah, thanks a lot contributors.

I'll try and keep you posted as the week goes on, and will let you know if we make our Cannes deadline... it'll be a squeeze. Once the working edit is sent off, we'll get back to finishing the film proper. And once we've done that we'll let you know. You might want to start to think about what you're going to wear.

Talk soon.
