A small window of opportunity before one of my leads emigrates for good, so we've really got to hit the ground running.
The short is called: The Other Marty and has been a pet project of mine for a long time. Its done the rounds when it comes to attempts at financing, production companies expressed interest etc... but no-one signed on the dotted line. We thought it was going ahead when Film Base and RTE shortlisted it for funding, but we loused up the meeting. RTE objected outright that the writer/director could not in turn also be the editor. Obviously they have never heard of The Coen Brothers or Robert Rodriguez and that was the end of that.
Long story short, I went and got married, started a new job, had a kid, lived life a bit and this project was put on the back burner, but it never went away.
The project originally called for a boy girl team but now I'm re-writing it as a buddy two guy team. BIG difference. I've only just start the re-write and we are scheduled to shoot the week after next!!!!!
What am I doing blogging? Gotta go write!
