Final Cut Completed

July and August are practically dead for film makers because the acquisition executives go on holiday until September - trying to raise a cogent statement from anybody on the phone is impossible. So those in the know, carry on with their productions waiting until the distribution community gets back to work. I, in the meantime wait to see when the sound mix of Going Green will come about. I completed the final cut in July and I'm happy to say Going Green lived up to it's intial pitch as a 'feel good road movie'. Here are the lead actors, Darren Enright and Rachael Rath, looking over their lines in between shots, in Spetember last year during the shooting of Going Green.

While I wait for the sound mix, I have turned my attention to the subject of my first screenplay, Robert Burns who is on my mind because I am devising evening classes about his life for the University of Strathclyde. Below are some photgraphs from the making of the film, Red Rose, about Robert Burns.

Michael Rodgers catches the attention of actress Rebecca Palmer who received an award of best actress for her role as Burn's lover, Maria Riddell.

Always good to have a Redcoat standing by to keep the establisment on their toes. Captain Dodds played by Thomas Hartley.
