Time for a regular, end of year update...
Okay, it's been far too long since I've used livejournal. Facebook and Twitter has taken me away, but I'm annoyed with one, and happy to just tweet randomly with the other.
I've moved since my last post, broke up with my girlfriend (sadly, this isn't unusual) and spent months alone, in what can only be described by my friend Scott, as a Batman Begins style reboot. During my time on Twitter I took a photo of my Spider-Man comics and Doctor Who action figure collection, stating that I would be alone forever. Mark Millar (yes, the Kick Ass guy) re-tweeted it to his 10,000 followers and some lovely geeky girls came out of the wood work. One such girl, Sara, caught my attention, and we spent the next month on the phone every night, tweeting, texting, getting to know each other. There was only one problem, she was in Wales.
Obviously the idea of a Welsh girlfriend was brilliant to me. I love the Welsh. They've given us new Doctor Who AND Torchwood. Plus they are so goddarn friendly and happy. Sara was kind enough to visit me in Glasgow for a few days and we got on like a house on fire. Queue a rom-com style slow-motion run at Glasgow airport, followed by a PG-13 embrace. It was brilliant.
Cut a long story short: 7 months later, Sara is living with me in Glasgow while studying to be a learning disabilities month at uni, and I'm working with my new filmmaking team (called Creative Talent Connections) on a new TV show and several short films. Life is good. Plus I've still got my little bunny Barney, and he is brilliant.
Under the cut is a couple of videos that I've made this year that I'm really proud of, so feel free to check it out:
Videos!
Click to viewI'm also working on my very own podcast for people who want to work in TV and film. Our first episode features Greg Hemphill, who co-wrote and starred in Chewin' the Fat and Still Game, as well as Kirsty Strain who appeared in sketch show Burnistoun and soap River City. You can listen to it below, I think it's quite funny and informative.
What else? Well I've become obsessed with Sherlock. Series 2 was brilliant. The wait for series 3 is slightly painful, but we've got new Doctor Who with a brilliant new companion to entertain ourselves with!
I think that'll do for now, so feel free to comment and say hello.
