Kino Edit

KINO KINO
Happy Solstice! Happy Christmas!!!
How are you all? My how long since I last wrote anything.

Well the cave edit is on and it is slow and tricky. I love editing but it is such a process that its the cool memories and the odd meeting with an ex-Kino-ite that just propels me to carrying on. And the positive Greg texts which are invaluable. They are what made Spoken By Crowds get completed and what will get this one completed.

Greg is pushing MinstrelWallEye and the film We Are Hoodwinks which just needs a yes and we have a fucking good movie to make.

Clam Chowder is expanding too. I am now writing a film called MASANAGA, which has had the word Manga stuck to it in making it easier to understand, but I attribute Clam Chowder to it more. Taoist, graphic novel and Cool. It's a massive Matrix like film I've just finished the first draft to. It is so exciting a prospect but there's a long way to go. Probably millions of pounds of investment of a way to go but it'd be sooo cool!

I feel wrong not mentioning something.. and pretending all's normal for KINO and the future so I shall mention it now because it's happening and like I said it feels pretensious not saying anything. It's all cool but things are changing.

There is a sadness from Minstrel Wall Eye, as the Kimster has made her wonderful mark in KINO and with Chowder but is no longer continuing. This is a sad day for the films and for MinstrelWallEye in general as one of the generals has retired. As for me, when one's world is so heavily embedded in these stories and the making of them it is a sore day when someone leaves who is so close to ones heart and vision. Clam Chowder, Office Verve and all those films of the future will miss her terribly.... BUT but I hope the Theatre treats her majestically as I know whatever she does she will excel at, big time. I cant wait to see her first production.
I'm sure Kim will describe the beauty of the theatre soon and I hope her future will be as beautiful... Fucking theatre :)


Ok so I should have a bath and try focus on what the fuck should be the first thing to go for.
