Pre-festival - I have recieved the news that Lonely Earth will unfortunately not be a part of the Foyle Film Festival.
However, I've also got the news that Lonely Earth will be in the Brainwash Manchester film festival, starting on October 26th. It's a great feeling to know my film will have some life outside my course back home.

Post-festival - Some great films. The best by far being the Bafta nominated Off Season.
It's a little embarrasing having my work up there for everyone to see. I can see so many things wrong with Lonely Earth. But there's no sense in making films if you're not going to show them.

What I've been up to over the summer
I want to give a shout out to the talented musician Chris McCann, who provided music for my short film Lonely Earth.

As soon as I have access to a Mac, I'll update my showreel to feature some of his track from the film. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
Fortunately, I got the music in time to send my film off to the Foyle Film Festival, and more recently I sent my film to the Filmlab Festival. They're both quality festivals with a lot of competition so let's hope Lonely Earth gets a screening in at least one. An award wouldn't go amiss either!
Besides shamelessly promoting Lonely Earth, I've been writing scripts for my next short film, and working in the media industry in any way I can. I've done some runner work for Wild Rover and some supporting artist work for Stirling. Both experiences were enjoyable and informative in their own ways, and in particular with Stirling I had a good look at a high production televised fiction from behind the scenes.
I'll be going to Manchester on the 18th September to take my journey as a film student to the next level. Hopefully, it won't be too long before I work on my next short. I'll miss my friends and family back home, but I'm very excited about the future.
