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.
