And That's a Wrap!

Sincere apologies for not posting for so long. Those who had any contact with me during the process of making Glycerine, know that I had no life other than the movie. For almost two months all I did was edit. Every minute of every hour of every day. I stopped only to pee and sleep (and that only lasted about 3 hours a night/morning). Even showering seemed to take up too much of my time so cleansing became a rare occurence (my teeth were always brushed, though). I didn't have time to stop and eat so the ordeal became subject to much multi-tasking.

But it's all over now! All my effort was worthwhile as I was nominated for Best Cinematography and won for Best Editing. The film won all the prizes including script, directing, cinematography, behind the scenes and best movie.

Although only a select few and I know the truth about the movie, such as the prizes which were not deserved, I'm proud non-the-less. We've been asked to send it into the Cannes and Toronto film festivals and it's going to be shown at Grahamstown next year.

I'm now off to Port Alfred for the first time in three years. I was ecstatic to find out that a whole bunch of my old friends will be there, I was afraid that they may have all moved on and left, but from what I hear they are all there and share my enthusiasm at my visit.

I'll be there for about 2 weeks so I won't be posting then either, but I will definitely have a lengthy report back when I return!
