So – Internet Story went pretty viral last month. Half a million views in a week! Thanks to all that shared and enjoyed.

So, some related updates:

I wrote a neat little Halloween article for The Mark. It’s about the uncanny spookiness of the internets.

I also did some e-interviews for The Atlantic and CBS News.

Updates on other projects so very soon!

I’ve finally decided to release Internet Story. That’s right, my latest short film is now on a website, and can go into your brains!

Given that it’s about the Internet, it’s really about time it was online. Read about the festivals and all else here.

Internet Story is playing in the East End Film Festival on April 30th as part of the East End Tales 2 Programme. Nice!

Plus, on May 2nd it will feature in Rich Pickings as part of a programme about “game structures in art and everyday life”. Double nice!

Then, between April 29th and May 5th, the film will be playing three times in the Brussels Short Film Festival as part of their International Competition. OK enough already!

Internet Story will be playing at the London Short Film Festival on January 13th, over at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith.

Really happy to be in this festival as well – it’s part of the interesting-sounding God’s Lonely Men programme. Should be good!

Book tickets here, if you’d like to.

Also forgot to mention: the film’s gone international! Got some nice responses from the interFilm Berlin Film Festival.

Expect more news on my next project in the New Year. Merry Christmash!

Have you heard the Good News? Internet Story will be playing at the BFI onedotzero Festival this November, down on London’s Southbank.

It’s an uber-cool digital/innovation event that I’m really proud to be a part of. The film is part of the New British Talent 10 programme which will be playing at the following times:

Wed 10 Nov | 16:00 | NFT3
Sat 13 Nov | 13:30 | NFT1
Sun 14 Nov | 20:30 | Studio

I’ll most likely be attending the Sunday showing but might go to the Saturday one as well. There’s loads of other cool things going on (see the programme) so it’d be great to see you there!

Tickets go on sale from the BFI for the general public on Oct 12th (or Oct 5th for sneaky BFI members).

Internet Story Has Premiered

The Internet Story premiere went very well – just a cast and crew shindig at Channel 4′s little screening room. And here’s a picture of me looking pleased/smug afterwards. Thanks to those that came!

The short now has an IMDb page and is currently attacking the festival circuit at home and abroad. I’ll let you what happens!

Open Cinema

I recently did a little bit of Production Design/Animation work for Open Cinema - who run cinemas for homeless and socially excluded people, as well as make cool short films on micro budgets. My work for their latest film Heroes and Villains was premiered at BAFTA and well-recieved. Watch out for the cardboard – that’s my bit!

Before Arcadia first premiered, I managed to set aside just enough time to produce this quick little Making Of featurette, to screen alongside it. Since then, people could only catch it on the rare DVD copies- until now!

As the film was produced on a £20 note and spare time, I hope you might be interested to see how we did it. It’s a very brisk tour but covers most of the stages, and is full of interesting production shots.

Spoiler warning: If you haven’t seen all of Arcadia yet, this little doc might spoil some things. And it probably wouldn’t make much sense anyway.

Just a quick note on Internet Story: more delay I’m afraid. We’re now hoping for a December premiere in London.

I figured my posts needed a few more pictures and a little less text. Above is the latest logo for Internet Story. Check check check out the updated page for it.

Just a quick post. Was very surprised recently when my Internet Story research brought up a strangely similar -but actually real!- website. Here it is: Al1′s Nine Grand Quest.

Hmm. I’m very much considering adapting the script to include this sort of thing. I’ll let you know how it goes.

In other news, Arcadia received another strong reception, this time at the Sci Fi London Festival. It also got a rather nice write-up from the people at Vector Magazine, referring to it as “a shining example of how well an ultra-low-budget short can work”. Yeah, sounds about right! Thanks!

Well, not such a quick post after all.
