A delayed 14
I’ve honestly had this one in the drafts since about 2 weeks after I posted the last blog. Two months ago. But then a lot started happening and, well, let’s be honest all three of you that read this talk to me in my daily life anyway and/or follow my Instagram which is where most of my updates go so you already know them. At this point, this blog is just me looking to feel busy when I have nothing on, or to procrastinate from doing something that I actually have to do. Currently it’s the latter. But, because I have grown in responsibility in the last year, I won’t write a long one. And that is called balance. Namaste.
So - an update for those of you that are either not my mother and/or have just stumbled here, I shall fill you in. I got a play! I’m in a play in Santa Monica and we’re having a great time and great reviews, and I love it. I also got a new agent! She’s wonderful and I will be a star when I am back in the UK. I also started a production company with some amazing friends, and we are called Rising Tide, and we have already shot our first film, and it is being edited together as we speak. It’s called Blind Optimism, and it’s about a blind guy who’s very optimistic. Blindly. There’s more depth to it than that, but you’ll just have to wait and see to see just how much deeper it is. In the industry that’s called a teaser. We’re still looking to complete our funding goal of $3000 (we only have about $600 left!) to help us get the edit and colouring completed, so if you or any of your people know of anyone who enjoys funding projects then let them know about us and what we do - the vital links are below:
I don’t know how I feel about using this blog as a way to raise money, but it seems more and more like the hustle never stops, so here we are. If nothing else, share either of those links around - do us a solid and put us in front of more people!
There isn’t a lot left to say - my life has been almost entirely the things I listed above, I’ve been as busy as a busy person since Blog 13. Almost as soon as it was published, actually. My time here is soon to come to and end, which I’m not looking forward to, for so many reasons. It feels like I’m finally doing cool stuff, and that I am closer than ever to my goals in this industry and in life. I think the thought that all these good feelings are happening now, and in three years I could look back on them, destitute and living at home and think what an idiot I was is the main thing scaring me. Getting one job and producing one film: hardly Brad Pitt. It feels more positive than that: I like to think it is. This just became introspective. It feels almost as uncomfortable writing this down in the public domain as it does saying it to someone in real life. Please don’t message me and tell me it will all be okay. I know it will, and these are just stupid feelings that will inevitably go away when I squish them down with the rest of the thoughts I don’t want to think. That will no doubt become a problem in twenty years, but I’ll be rich and famous enough to have an around-the-clock therapist, or a yacht; which is basically the same thing.
I promised earlier, for balance, that I’d keep this one short, and not procrastinate too hard. I think I am at about the point that this stops being a quick read and so I’ll finish. To summarise - I got work —> I made work —> please donate to help us make more work —> I got sad —> I’m fine.
