Happy New Year to you all.

Thought I’d just throw a new page up just to stop the talkbacks getting so cluttered.

The new year brings positive developments but nothing I can announce or really talk about yet. I’ve moved back to Toronto for the foreseeable future and we’ve got a production office up and running, so I’m pretty confident that this movie is going to get made. The script is in rocking good shape but there are always improvements and adjustments to be made, so I fully expect it to be a moveable feast all the way through to, well, basically delivery. To my mind editing is really the final draft of the screenplay so, as the writer as well as director, I keep that in mind as we go along. I’ve thrown down some huge challenges for the team and expect them to rise to every one.

No casting to announce yet. But I have to say here, please don’t post asking to be in the movie. I’m just not going to cast you unless you’ve got some kind of representation and experience. If that means I’m going to miss out on someone who would be genius and perfect then I’ll take that hit. Sorry.

So the team is pretty much in place. There are still some exciting creative choices to be made as well as hard decisions on how to deliver an extraordinary movie on the resources I’ve been given but that’s the job and I love every moment of it.
