Just quickly cause I'm a bit tired but today Kim left for Rose Bruford, and Greg left a few days before. So a whole has a hole in it and so in the post came two things I needed to begin editing. They came today and I began. That's 1 day before the two month mark since we began filming! How fucked up is that!
The few tapes I've captured look wicked but I won't speak too much about the edit until I start snipping! But Simon watch out scenes'll start flying at you soon.
I also want to get Clam Chowder (The comic Gothic Faery tale) edited as soon as possible as I hope to send it to Dazed and Confused to see their thoughts on the film and some awesome imagery!
So I am trying desperately not to mull too badly over the leaving of my special guys, and the dull lump in my throat and the burning behind my eyes is constant but today I decided I wanted to bask and be proud and work hard! And that is what I shall do because what we've achieved as artists and friends is incredible!
God Bless

End of the Beginning
Ok so my car is all packed up and I'm ready for the long drive home!! Really, really dont want to go! Can I just say before I started this film I wasn't a 'gusher'...but you people have turned me into one...I secretly like it.
Principle photography finished on monday with the 'Dominatrix' scene, and it finished how it started, great atmosphere and awesome commitment. Buck, Abi and Rob were amazing, and I think the scene will be great, and Ruth you may be the greatest hostess in the world, fantastic actress aswell..get it all on your CV. Ha Ha! Was a strange evening though, because there was a tinge of sadness in the air, people knew it had come to an end (for actors), but the way I see it, I much prefer to walk away from a project feeling sad about leaving people than running away screaming for the hills!! I'm dreading the void that will be left by you guys...I may just start walking around with a machete and bullet hole in cheek.
I just want to say a massive thankyou to you Marco (Big Daddy C), for letting me be part of all this, you should be beyond proud of what you have achieved, said it before and say it again how you have managed to get such a group together I will never know (and remember Marcos work has only really just got started on this project, good luck mate, you know where I am)! Everyone should be proud, this film is going to be unbelievable to watch, I was in enough awe watching people perform from behind camera, let alone when its on screen! Thank you to every single person who helped and worked on film, mum Becky, Sab, Rob, Simon, Becki, Zi and loads others who gave us space to film. Just simply wouldn't have worked without every single one of you. Kym can I have a promise from you....I want one of the first copies of your books, detailing your theatre theories and teachings, because I'm seriously going to want and need one of them, you have been inspiring to work with madam and I cannot wait till our next project!
Ok, ok I am done gushing! Will miss each and everyone of you, good luck with everything you all decide to do, you are all talented enough to do anything, hopefully see you all soon....not the end, just the beginning!!!
Love Greg

Dominatrix
Well, I really am beginning to feel the glue of the film relaxing and the world becomming normal again! It really is gutting. I haven't felt this for some years. I tried to make experiences that achieve these highs and lows but although I do live for these lows as well as highs, I can't say that they are easy!. These lows are so difficult. Shit man! Big breath... The summer is closing, the new terms begin, and people step to their lives again... It's the jerk back to those lives, which are as good as anything else, that's tricky. It's like grief or a wrench as real as anything.
However I am so looking forward to this cool scene. Buck is back,
Abby is in a dog collar, as is Rob! and Greg dons his gimp mask! Sab is doing his beautiful camera work and Simon listens to the world like noone else... I think Ruth, John, Rosie, Beck, Kate are around and Kim is popping to the after drinks at mine after her work while My Becki and Finn and little one sleep above. You see that is life isn't it? We should just keep filming man!
Argh! Big fucking fuck!!!
Sorry for low but I'm a bit fucked... And I like to say either way!
Big kiss though and loads of love to you all
tomorrow will be awesome
