Hot Leg - I've Met Jesus

Hot Leg's management have just put up the new promo on youtube, if you haven't seen it yet, check it out:

Hawkins' Hot Legs

Things are finally quietening down after a hectic autumn, and I can finally get back to writing a bit here.

I have just finished two promos for ex-Darkness Justin Hawkins' new act - Hot Leg - for their singles Trojan Guitar, and a parody of the 1960s classic Fantastic Voyage for their Christmas single I've Met Jesus for Monkey Science/Kirkwall. Directed by Richard Mitchell, the boys are sent on a fabulous miniaturised journey through the veins of the virgin Mary to meet Jesus in the womb - complete with fantastically dated effects by the guys at Large Evil Corporation.

Once it's out on the internet I'll post a link - watch this space!

Vendetta

One of my recent drama projects is nearing completion in post production, and some info has been released by production company Black Bull Films.

Shot a month ago on location in London, Leo De Haan's latest short Vendetta is currently in post being cut by Nigel Galt (Eyes Wide Shut). It stars Frank Harper, Stephen Moore and Alice Henley, shot on super16mm with the fabulous new Fuji 160 Vivid stock with camera equipment from the ever-brilliant Aimimage (with thanks as ever to Mark Puffett and Mike Robinson!). It is an atmospheric thriller aimed at theatrical and festival release, and you can read a little more about it at http://www.blackbullfilms.com/drama/vendetta_Index.html

I'll post more information as and when it arrives!

John West & Venice

Just back from the wonderful Page 45 in Nottingham where the fabulous Eddie Campbell and Paul Gravett were signing their work, a regular comic book spectacular.

Some great news from Catriona MacInnes - the film we shot together last year, I'm In Away From Here, has been selected for this year's Venice Film Festival. You can read more about the film here; http://www.napiercreativeshowcase.com/2008/lens/sa.php?id=4

John West's new Rowboat commercial that I shot with Gemma Burditt for the Onward Film Company and Cheethambell in Belfast a few months ago is currently playing on Irish commercial television, and will be landing on the mainland shortly. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out:
