Old press…
A long time ago, (right here on planet Earth) my friend Jonathan Hall and I entered a competition in Total Film magazine. It was a short film awards competition and there were a number of categories you could enter. We had had an idea brewing for a long while about a 80’s zombie action movie that would have its tongue so firmly in cheek that it hurt. But this was a feature-length idea and hardly suitable for any short film competition. However this one offered the opportunity to craft a trailer for a non-existent movie. Bingo! So we made it and entered it. You can find the trailer we made above. However, this tale doesn’t have quite the happy end you might think. We didn’t win the competition, (Noooooooo!!!!!) but we did get a name-check in Total Film (Awesome!!!)! It was very odd, picking up the magazine in the newsagent, strolling through the pages only to find your name in print. Now, we didn’t win the competition, but what we did do is write the full-length feature screenplay, currently being touted. See? Not quite the ending we thought when entering the competition, but a more productive one. Why do I bring this up now? Well… I happened to stumble (okay, I searched for it in case it was archived online) and found a scan of that very page we were mentioned on. It just brought a smile. Check it out here…
