The Lost Film Project

Tired

We don’t update this blog nearly enough! Time hasn’t been on our side and we’re working flat out to get as much in the can whilst we’re here in the US. The UK press stories have pretty much been and gone now but we’re still waiting to see if the VARIETY piece has a further effect – it gets published on Sunday 8th Nov. In the meantime, we plan to spend tomorrow at the seaside….

Twitter vs Blog

OK, for those of you following both the lost film project twitter feed and this blog, it can’t have escaped your attention that the latter isn’t getting updated as regularly! Twitter wins hands down for getting quick updates out there. Blogs require too much time right now. Anyway, we’re aiming to keep both going so keep the faith with the blog and we’ll do our best to flesh it out some more over the coming days and weeks.

Destiny

We’ve talked a lot about destiny in relation to the events of the last few weeks and the journey we’re about to embark on. My main concern right now though is density. The hardcore diet begins tomorrow. Those damn cameras never lie.

Trying to be normal

We’re all desperately trying to do normal weekend kind of stuff. Be with the kids, stack and restack the dishwasher, give the lawn a last cut. That kind of thing. But there’s always THIS THING – with a long list of things to do, people to contact and ideas to scribble down. Is what we’re trying to do the first signs of the crazed paranoia of middle age?! Is it really that one in a million opportunity to grab a ride on what could turn out to be something quite remarkable and memorable – and not just for ourselves? These questions will persist, no doubt. But there’s no turning back for sure. Of that I’m convinced. And that alone, is a little bit scary.

Research. And then some.

So we have Mo checking out museums in Germany, HK studying documentary forms in London and the LA boys booking crew. And I’ve started The Lost Film Project blog and Twitter feed. This whole story started during the unusually bright last days of September but it’s been picking up speed at a rate of knots since then. I suspect that like most runaway trains we’re going to have little say in how or when it ends. Time will tell.
