Big Day
I’m a bit excited today, as according to my Withoutabox submissions status page, today is the first day that House of Donn finds out if it’s been selected for a festival (Rhode Island). So fingers crossed…
Also, I’ve been invited to help out with a project that’s been bubbling along for a while driven by the guys that helped out on the shoot of HoD.
I think essentially, it’s a kind of web based TV thing, but it all sounds quite intriguing and exciting, and the plans they have to develop it could bring about some enormous boosts to the local filmmaking community, which should dovetail nicely into Roger De Haan’s plans to develop Folkestone (specifically – a university for performing arts in the area) and greatly enhance the possibility of the development of my own dream – a local film studios, much like one Tim mentioned while he was out in Cannes.
It’s still early doors yet, I believe they’re still trying to secure funding and prepare a quite extensive showreel, though with the skill and experience on board the project, I don’t think they’ll have too much trouble. We’re having a meeting at lunchtime to discuss it.
The Digifest thing went really well last week, I reckon we probably had between 80 and 100 people turn up at some point. House of Donn went down really well, so I was greatly pleased about that. There seemed some incredulity amongst the assembled attendees that I’d made the film for as little as I had. As Daz (who was rightly lauded for the music) said, ‘it just goes to show what difference a little time and effort can make to things’.
Hopefully I’ll have an excitement filled update later today…

About Andy Coughlan
I write stuff down and try to make films out of it. Sometimes I succeed. I also code things, like Scribomatic, Brolly or Not? and Geeky Gifts.

No news from Camelot yet. But the new 365films website is (just about) up. You’re the first to check it out Andy as it is still in testing! The movies are being recompressed now.
