Bombay Sapphire - The Mrs in LA

So we've now shot the 4th film of the series & are leaving LA this evening.

The Mrs is an off-beat comedy about a man waking up to discover his wife has a rather big surprise in store for him. This is winner Shekhar Bassi's story and Matt Smukler directed the film in a very quirky house in the LA suburbs (a character in itself). The cast were great and Shekhar was very pleased with the results. He even had a cameo role as a policeman!

I think we're all pleased to be heading back to London now. We start shooting Water Song almost as soon as we get back... The last of the series!

It's the end of January, so I guess we shouldn't have been surprised by all the rain, but today - now that we're leaving - there is glorious sunshine here in LA (there are people in swimming costumes lounging by the pool!) & it must be about 20 degrees!

BIFA Crocodile and Baby

BIFA has had a great idea in this period of Coronavirus lockdown - they have made all the BIFA nominated and winner shorts over the past 10 years available to view for FREE. How lovely to see BABY and CROCODILE up there and among such an exciting batch of films - great to be able to watch them all.

Films in LFF2019

This year my highlight of the festival was going to NFT1 to listen to an interview with Céline Sciamma, fabulously talented French writer director of Water Lilies, Tomboy, Girlhood (writer of the animated My Life as a Courgette) and in this year’s festival - her period piece Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

First Time Directors

I have been thinking about the stigma and the draw surrounding this title. All my feature projects - and I guess my shorts too in terms of “feature status” - are pretty much with first time directors. Sometimes I long to be at the stage where I can be working with more established directors – albeit them also being the first-timers I’m working with, only them (and me) having MADE that first feature!!! –. Get me out of perpetual development please…
