The Original Weekend Trailer

Well this is the weekend project that's started the whole process. I made it for a meeting of Kino Sydney, as a bit of fun. Which it was and still is. So expect pretty basic production values, dodgy acting, editing, etc, but it still has something about it... What I'm working on now is radically better but still rooted in this ozploitation/nunsploitation genre headspace. And yes, Sister Sandy will be in the upcoming project. Think Batman crossed with Mother Theresa :-)

Get ready!! Nuns With Guns - The Original Trailer

And So It Begins..

My new blog, that is. It also coincides with the formation of BoomTime Productions and what is clearly the next step in my film and storytelling development.

For the sake of continuity, all the previous posts on the PJ Collins Film Blog can be found here:

So technically it's more of a 'continues' than a 'begins'... Anyway I'm being pedantic.

'Nuns With Guns' (NWG) is well and truly in the development stage now. The treament's pretty much nailed and the script is taking shape, with a shoot timetable planned for March/April/May 2009. I'll be using this blog for a few purposes:
  1. To track all the significant NWG events
  2. To track my planned RTA Motorcycle Safety Video Series (if the funding comes through!)
  3. To track the filming of the 30 minute 'Natural Beauty Queen' episode of Rock Chikz, to be directed and DOP'ed by me from 15-20th September in Sydney, and finally,
  4. To post any amusing web videos I come across or make for a laugh.

There. 4 core purposes. Let the games begin!
And to kick it all off (in this Olympic Month) let's go back to the basics.... back to Sesame Street. :-)
