Exterior location confirmed

Subject to final written confirmation we've secured a great business park near Heathrow for all our exterior scenes, for Sunday Jan 25 which will mark the start of the shoot! Obviously we'll confirm this with everyone, but thought you'd like to know (especially since thanks to Joe the location has warm interiors, toilets and no doubt somewhere to plug a kettle in...)

Update - Happy Christmas and New Year

Hope everyone's had a great break. Thanks to all our male actors for agreeing to play, and I wish we could have cast everyone we saw. We've been so lucky.

Just before Christmas we did our final workshop on the script, elegantly ironing out a couple of crinkles. We'll be casting Gemma as soon as possible and hope to finalise our locations this week. We've got some great hands on board now in the crew, and equipment coming from friends and suppliers. Still shedloads to do though...

Shooting Dates

The original - hopeful - shoot dates of straight after the Christmas break have thankfully been pushed back to the end of January, still dependent on locations, and it's a much more comfortable schedule. This means we won't get back to crew as soon as we would have otherwise, in case you're wondering.

Gemma

Thanks to everyone who has sent or is sending info. We'll be responding in the next few days.

Casting Call - Gemma

The male roles are being considered, here's a call for actresses wishing to play Gemma, thanks. Owing to a hitch with the advert, this has only gone live on 14th Dec and the role is now open.

Casting Call - Alan, Graham, David, Ash - Closed

A big thankyou to everyone who has taken the time to respond.

We've had so many great CVs and faces put forward that we simply have to stop the call and give these our attention. We still aim to get back to everyone individually so please bear with us.

Response to Crew Call

Once again, thanks to everyone who has got in touch or is getting in touch in response to call for crew. We will get back to each person but it won't be straight away.

Response to casting call

Thank you everyone who has responded or is responding to the casting call. Suddenly the project has come alive, and I'm now full time on production. A little bit scary, but your enthusiasm is fantastic.

Casting call and Crew call

Positions now open on 12 min short film 'Where's Alan?'

CAST, PRODUCTION TEAM AND CREW OPENINGS REMAIN

We're aiming to shoot in January 2009, therefore quite a lot to do without creating a special website for now, so this idea from Paul Ireson to rustle up a quick blog instead is genius. More bells and whistles later.
