no sugar and spice required to make a director + latest update....

Paraphrasing the guy who wrote The Work of The Film Director:

"The most important quality needed by a film creator is the ability to let her intellect take a back seat. A feeling for observation, memory and psychology - as well as a fantastically acute sense of sight and sound - is essential. She must possess the instinct of a showman (showgirl?), because film is a spectacle, and when it's done well it becomes a work of art...."


so, no pressure then!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a great response from the filmnet ad, as well as Rod Lara and Vanessa de Largie letting everyone in their networks know about Blackness (thanks rod and ness!)

i think we have potentially found the perfect actors to play The Nerd, The Bartender, The Beefcake and Bobby #2.

Next step: Find a suitable space to hold auditions/rehearsals, then contact our potentials for auditions/meets :)

If anyone knows off a cheap (preferably located in the inner nth or east suburbs) space to rent/hire by the hour (it doesnt need to be huge) please let me know!!!


as you are

update on pre-production activities....

starside film logo for Blackness production currently being developed...

casting call has gone out on screen hub to cast the rest of the parts....

Finding a DOP is no 1 priority... I am hoping Claire Forgie is interested/in the country - fingers crossed!

Experimenting with different recipes to make sugar glass (for the beer bottle that The Barfly smashes, and then slashes The Sleaze's throat with!) - First few tries havent been a spectacular success, hopefully practice makes perfect!!!!
