Canary Wharf Film Festival

It has been two years since CWP got its first festival screening at The Canary Wharf Film Festival. It was a very exciting time, being the very first time anything had been shown in public, on the big screen. As a director, I learnt a lot in those few days, some good and some bad. But mainly, it was interesting to gain my first sight into the 'film industry'. And as it is returning for its third year, I will be off to it this weekend. See you there!

A Saturday Blog El D?

Ah, you see there was good reason for that...was v. v. busy...gosh, sounding like Bridget Jones....units 51, cigarettes smokes - 22 (v. v. bad), calories 20 (yey! but feel v. v. weak)...was MC-ing event in East London...Vaisakhi...my first Vaisakhi...v.v.v. good...a lot of fun...dancing...music...martial arts...learning a little of a new culture...educational...and entertaining...and shockingly was presenting the event...that meant getting CD's playing...chatting...announcing...easy...really...I did very little work...in fact I was being entertained like most of the crowd...must definitely attend next year...

Vlog 365 and the Canary Wharf Film Festival

Unlike America, Vlogging, hell, blogging has not really taken off in the UK. The Internet is seen as something geeky, still, something to be a bit ashamed of. A uniquely British concept, to be ashamed of something that we use everyday for our own essential use!

Anyways, I digress. If you have not check it out, why not?

The Vlog 365 Project!

Click on the above link! Watch and learn. It is a fantastic project that has really captured the imagination, and I believe it is a first in British internet history. To vlog, everyday for a year.

There are other year long vlog projects going on youtube. To name a couple of my favourites:

Aceswolf
Alwayzblu

It is a toughie to do, and a year long commitment can be hard, but the value is immense. A year of the highs and lows of people's lives, recorded...
