So, I’ve been burning the candle at both ends again. I’ve been in pre-production for mate Rob’s new horror film Mind Flesh. I’m working as the Art Director and PJ is shooting it. This is pretty much all I’ll be writing about for the next 5 weeks as I will be living, breathing, eating and shitting Mind Flesh. We’re shooting in and around Lewisham. Up until Friday, I was working full time up at the film school. On Friday night at 17.30, I went full time on the film.

Spent all of Friday night working on the schedule and budget. Spent all of Saturday shopping for props at a fab boot sale in Kilburn. You would not believe the variety of items that are sold for a pound at this place. If you are looking to kit out your flat with tat, this is the place to go.

Got my wallet stolen. This kicked off an international incident as I had PJ’s Amex card in my wallet, and someone charged £400 of Vodafone stuff. We’ll get it back, but PJ was in Sweden at the time, so the amount of international calls made were, well, in the double digits.

Spent Sunday painting and dressing the flat location, Sunday night on the schedule. Today, we drove around picking up props at the film school, my place, Lewisham, Bow then back to Lewisham. Now back home and must go over the props list for the meeting with the AD tomorrow. That is the story so far.
