What with Bonnie Tyler coming in at a surprisingly high 19th, and haunting my thoughts with her age defying face, I thought I’d share this little Eurovision sketch that came out a couple of days ago, written by my friend Miranda Dawe, and featuring me as yet another bemused idiot.
Today Paul Jones, my good lady wife and I got back from spending a weekend in Norwich, where our short A Slightly Exaggerated Reenactment Of A Voicemail I Never Actually Left For Tom Lenk was screened on the final night of this year’s Norwich Film Festival. Although we weren’t nominated for anything it was nice to be selected, especially as we didn’t submit to many festivals, and we shot on even less of a budget than Method.
Anyway, believe it or not people actually laughed. I think we got one of the best responses that evening actually, although it probably helped being sandwiched between some pretty serious, dramatic works! If you’ve come here as a result of seeing the film, thanks for the great reaction!
I’ll probably upload it soon, although I almost don’t want to spoil the hype…
So I mentioned in my last post that we were doing some quick sketches as part of a new web sketch show. That’s right. Not content with writing and starring in our own sitcom, we’re also writing and starring in our sketch show. Well why not.
Whereas the last shooting schedule for Episodes 4 and 5 of All in the Method totalled about 38 hours, we shot 2 episodes of the new sketch show on Sunday in about… 6? A walk in the park, and we will certainly be filming more very soon.
Looking at that photo you would think that Luke has decided to crack my head open with a bit of wood. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn’t. More news on that soon!
