iPhone Tragic - Official

A few changes to mention.

The blog name has changed. NWG is on course but it's not the only reason for this blog. So the name has changed.

I am officially an iPhone tragic. I will never have to see that annoying 'Low memory' message on a Windows Mobile phone again. Thank God! I may also start posting things from the bloody thing.

Now enough of the technicals. Film!

Chocolate is finished. It can be watched right here.

Overall I'm very happy with it. Punchlines are tough but the journey is very pleasant.

I've also filmed the play, Lovely Bits. Editing it at the moment. Hired another EX1 to do a 2 camera shoot, unluckily couldn't find anyone experienced to help me so had to deal with both cameras myself. But it looks like it's worked, hopefully I'll have a cut ready in the next week or so!

The Stinkwater International Film Festival is on this weekend, I'll be at the Ritz on sunday in Randwick. The Spot Food Festival runs all day.

The food festival is free, the film festival is $10, but if you find me I can probably get you in free. As Stella Artois are sponsoring the event there will also be a few free beers involved!
Peter Garrett's coming along for the movies and to hang out.

Michael Caton (Packed to the Rafters), Bud Tingwell (The Castle) and Roy Billing (Underbelly 2) will also be there as they are being inducted into the Australian Film Walk of Fame - You know plaques in the pavement and all that.


If anyone reads this comes along, finds me and says 'Razmattaz' in my ear, I will get you into the film festival for nothing and give you free beer all night. More info below::

The closing day of the Arts festival is a wonderful community celebration as Randwick City Council, the Crowne Plaza Coogee Arts Festival & the Ritz Cinema join together in the streets of the Spot with a feast of food, entertainment, children’s activities and film.

The celebrations begin at 1.00 pm when the streets surrounding the Spot are closed to traffic and opened to fun with food and music, jumping castles, petting zoos, helicopter simulators and much more in a film themed street festival.

The Ritz Lounge Bar and Balcony will be open for anyone who wants a relaxing birds eye view of all the celebrations and festivities on the day. Come and enjoy a drink whilst the kids enjoy the street fair and all the activities available in the Spot.
