It has been a while since I last blogged. Truth is I have been away in various places over the last few weeks and in the meantime have been working heavily on some short film ideas. The best of them is a horror idea, which I ACTUALLY plan to shoot within the next month. It is called Heavy Water and follows a man named Tom, who is a heavy drinker. One day after a meeting with his ex girlfriend he goes on a particularly heavy binge before heading back home to find more booze. He falls asleep and then wakes up in a horrific, dark hallway where there are loud whispers, babies crying, vicious creatures and most importantly darkness. After this dream, Tom sees that he needs to deal with an issue that has plagued him for years. This is possibly the most sinister idea I have ever had, which I think stems from more exposure to a plethora of horror films in recent months. It is usually a genre I don't have much time for but it has started to grow on me and I find the idea of scaring people within the space of ten minutes in film quite a cool challenge. There is a synopsis/step outline written, so please read it and give me feedback. Also if you are interested in working on the project give me a shout at igilani89@hotmail.co.uk
I have a screenplay written from about 9 months ago called Reading My Dreams and I decided to revisit it recently. I still think it is quite a strong idea and a funny screenplay but it definitely needs work. I would quite like to shoot this in a few months as well as it would involve a lot of fun scenes. For example a man dressed as Lady Gaga, someone running away from a tiny boulder Indiana Jones style, cardboard Transformers and Batman versus The Joker on a rooftop. Again if you email me I will send you a copy of the screenplay and please give feedback, it would be greatly appreciated.
Until next time.
