Wow, it’s been a long long time since I placed a blogpost on here – 2023 has been an incredible year so far.
I used to write a blogpost weekly about my script consultant UK and script writer for hire services but something else has taken up a lot of my time recently and what that something is – is a feature film called ‘Sober’.
‘Sober’ is getting close to being complete and we expect it will be released later this year or early next year. And we expect BIG things from the film – its very funny.
Sober writer and director
So, I wrote and directed Sober – alongside the two actors (Dean Smith and Tom Gibbons – pictured) who played the lead roles (and co-wrote and co-produced the film alongside me).
Sober is a feature film – which is shot in Leeds, on location in less than 10 days.
The film was made for a budget of less than £10,000 and the cast features some award-winning actors and actresses – who all worked for free.
As post-production nears a conclusion in the next few months or so – I will be blogging on here again – and across on my director website
Sober website
There’s also a website set up for Sober the movie – which has a blog sections and a behind the scenes section – we’re still building that website up – but its worth checking out.
So, sorry for the radio silence – but Sober – is gonna be worth the wait.
