Blog postThe last three years have been brutal for me. As I know they have for so many others too. I am not unique in this regard. While smarter people may have chosen to allow their companies to go under during the pandemic, I chose to fight through bankruptcy and have emerged from the other side. […]

Every so often we experience magic. Actual real world magic. Not a trick. Not supernatural. But awe inspiring scientifically backed up magic. I just opened the box containing the Meteorite that the Final Draft have so kindly sponsored for the Best Script Award at the Impact50 awards. And yes, sorry for the strong of clichés, but it is out of this world. An award for a shooting star. Star stuff and Carl Sagan would call it.
It’s formed from -
Blog postAfter a HUGE amount of debate within the team and community, we have decided to use the poster with the meteor for all online presence.
It works really well in the fast-paced environment of social media, such as account headers or thumbnails and square posts.
But for the HUGE and permanent movie poster, we have opted for the one without the meteor.
We felt that this was a piece of art, and artefact of the whole project, as much as it is an advertisement for the film. < -

Blog postIt all began with a riot. Four nights or rioting across the UK actually, but mainly in London. It was August 2011 and walking through Ealing on my way to the office at Ealing Studios reminded me of a war zone.
This was the start of Create50, though right now, it was just a simple idea.
Why not run a competition with our screenwriters to examine the issues around these riots? Keep it to one page. And then offer up the winning scripts to filmmakers via the internet. -
Blog postLast week we began the final grade for The Impact.
This is where we adjust colours, contrast and even add subtle visual effects like shadows or flares, to polish the look of all the films.
Aside from the obvious creative element we can address, the grading also helps make the films all look like they belong together. It also ensures that the video levels are ‘legal’ (as in meeting industry specifications).
My old buddy Jon Walker is helping do this and we are using Dav -

Announcing The World Premiere of Impact50! May 31st, The Genesis Cinema, London Join us to celebrate in style and party like it’s the end of the world… ‘cos it just might be!
Nearly a decade from conception to World Premiere, The Impact is a stunning feature film like no other.
Prophetic? Yes.
Ambitious? Absurdly so.
Did we pull it out of the bag? HELL YES!
The Impact is getting its London Premiere on May 31st (Tuesday -

Blog postI say the final cut. I am of course still cutting. But it’s close. Very close.
So close that I finished it last week. Then I realised I knew I had to do yet another recut.
With the premiere looming, the vice is tightening. There’s nothing like a good deadline to get the creative cogs spinning and the creative soul innovating new ideas.
But let’s back up a bit.
No-one, least of all me, thought that Impact50 would take nearly eight years from conception to comple -
Blog postAbout three weeks ago my Facebook account was hacked. I don’t want to go into details of the ‘how’ as it was a sophisticated hack, and I am still unsure of how they did it. The bottom line is that the platform is very far from secure. Tumbling from this I then also lost my […]

Blog postIt seems about two thousand years ago, as in this time last year, that we published two books for Xmas. One a kids book, the other a collection of Christmas ghost stories. Both are on Amazon globally and both feature stories written by new writers in the LondonSWF community. So if you want a unique […]

This Girl is on Fire by Emma Johnson “Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise.
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise.”
Maya Angelou
There is a moment, just before you step onto hot coals, where the whole world seems to hold its breath. The guiding arm in front of you falls away, and there is nothing stopping you, the path ahead is clear. And although it’s just a small step forward, it feels like a vast black void of impo -
