Wow... so its finally almost here. I'm not sure what to say really, I'm a real mix of excitement, sadness (very sad to be away from my girlfriend Rochelle for three months) and anxiousness :p I've got a film to make, the first feature I have worked on and I'm doing it solo.
I'm pleased to report that the yorkshire based ITV programme 'Calendar' are interested in getting some video updates from me, which I am very happy to oblige with, and hope to promote my film through this at the same time. In the last month this whole trip has become a lot more real, and has had a lot of outside interest, including ITV Yorkshire, BBC Surrey and BBC Radio, as well as numerous local papers.
I am very happy to be be apart of all the buzz, but can't deny feeling a little pressured to produce a high quality film at the end of it all, I'm still confident I can do this, but it feels a lot more publicised than I imagined it would be going into the trip. Its all good experience that I feel very lucky to be getting.
Today I am getting all my stuff packed, and preparing for some more filming at the Finill household later tonight, I've had trouble getting hold of Steve Pope, but I plan to get all the rest of my staged interviews with him and Chris tomorrow.
I may put another update on here before I leave, I may not, but I'm sure for whoever is reading this, I'll be updating on here soon :)
