I felt a real wretch today. This morning our company announced it was laying off everyone in the manufacturing facility across the road from where I work. 500+ jobs to go in the next two years. That’s a major blow for the local area in which our company is one of the biggest employers. Needless to say there was much doom and gloom in the air.
And then, as I stood in the queue at the bank, Ben rang me up with the exciting news that Ken Colley has agreed, subject to availability, to be in the new short! My god, I nearly floated out onto the High Street.
We’re all going to meet up tomorrow lunchtime, (Ken, Ben, Denis the DP and myself) to try to schedule the shoot.
Got an e-mail this evening to say the Brooklyn Film Festival had received their copy of SToA, so I’m confident the Cannes crew got theirs on time (it had to be there yesterday at the latest and only had to get as far as Paris, which is actualy closer to me here than Leeds).
