BFF 2012 - Manborg




This film is hilariously entertaining, bad taste at it's best. It's very obvious that the director's taste in bad 80s action cliches is evident in this film, and it doesn't take itself seriously. This mixed with a dry humour, makes this film a must see. For what it's designed to be, the special visual effects and make-up effects are amazingly creative. I recommend viewing this film for sure.

BFF 2012 - Ghosts With Shit Jobs


Ghosts with Shit Jobs Trailer June 2011 from Tate Young on Vimeo.


This film is as amazing as it's title. Created on a budget of only $5000, this film is a great example of unique creativity and thinking outside the box. It's minimalist sound design does a great job of creating a humorous dystopian future. If you get the chance to see it, it's worth a look.

Damage

My good friend Kris Smith has produced and directed an excellent short film entitled 'Damage', a love triangle story set in 1965 between a photographer, his vulnerable model and her hard working fiancé. I witnessed a couple of days of the production process, and saw the enormous amount of hard work Kris and the cast & crew put in to make this film possible. Was very impressed watching the film at the premiere screening in Norwich. Well done Kris.
Also includes at the beginning a title sequence/trailer for his new upcoming film 'I'm Still Here'.




Please watch the film and rate it on IMDB.

TEDx Youth @ Bath

Attended the TEDx talk at Komedia today and witnessed some very inspirational keynote speakers, and learned a lot. After today, I'm inspired to take control and shape my future. I've already started writing a new short live action film, but after today, I have definitely decided to see that I produce the film and get it into film festivals. All I got to do now is find other filmmakers interested in collaborating with me in Bath, Somerset and purchase sound recording equipment. Excited about starting another film production.

BFF 2012 - Keyhole




I don't know where to start. Well watching this film, I was never bored and my attention never drifted from the film or the story. I would use the marmite metaphor for describing this film, when you see it you'll either love it or hate it. It was easy to follow the core of the story, and the simplicity of characters with goals. However it was difficult to pin down the structure and aesthetics of 'Keyhole's world and characters. But I did enjoy the visuals of this film. I would describe it as a psychedelic noir, about family, love and ghosts. Not for everyone but I really enjoyed it.

Saw 'Flying Blind' last night. A very moving and thought provoking Drama with a good amount of tension and a satisfying conclusion, a very good film.

BFF 2012 - Up There



Just seen 'Up There', an entertaining dark comedy. If you have a sense of humour about death, then this is a film that's worth a view. Also got the chance to ask actor Burn Gorman a question about the production process during the video Q&A, which was awesome.

BFF 2012 - 8 Minutes Idle



Saw my first film of the 2012 Bath Film Festival last night, 8 Minutes Idle. A very funny and entertaining comedy. If you get the chance to see it, I definitely recommend watching it.
