May 2011
Now We have started Shooting my final end of year film for my degree its all crazy thank god i started planing in December for this. All the films on my page including R.E.M and the Test Shoots 1,2 and 3 have all been pre-production in terms of seeing what works in my script logistically and seeing what people thought. That is why I screened the Test shoots and R.E.M in Plymouth and New York.
With the film in the Can and named "Delusions Of Daniel Taylor" with a great Cast and Crew it should be ready to go to the Indie Short Film fest Circuit in January 2012.
After screening my three Test shoots In Plymouth "Imperfect Cinema" indie Film Festival. I'Ve decided to go abroad for the first time in my life, with my first ever passport. And not across the river to Spain but to New York Manhattan. I took my three short Films called "Test Shoot 1, 2 and 3" and I also took with me the film "R.E.M" and screened them at an Artist Loft in Brooklyn with the "Imperfect Cinema" crew. Such an amazing response to the films. Best Experience ever.
