Finally, the funding proposals for ‘Gone Fishing’ have
arrived from the printers.
In the next few days we are going to be approaching everyone
we know to help out and get involved. We will almost certainly be contacting
you too! And if we don’t know you, but you are interested, you can contact us
at mail@livingspirit.com.
We have set a shoot date of September 3rd, and
Cathy Arton, Casting Director starts work next week.
The next major hurdle is to get the website up to date,
which I hope will be done by weekend. And then it’s all systems go!
Onward and upward!

I am just putting the final touches to my investment proposal
for my short film, ‘Gone Fishing’, before I send it off to the printers
tomorrow. It’s a fairly bold and unusual way of funding the movie, but I am
hopeful that it will pay off. We are making up a full colour folded A4 document,
complete with artwork and photos.
I just wanted to tip you off about a really good company and deal I found. I have been making DVD’s for various projects and have, until now, printed out the DVD slips on my colour printer. On a one off basis it’s great, but do ten or more and with the printing time, trimming, ink, paper etc., it’s less attractive. Get to 50 and it’s a royal pain in the ass! So I found a company who can print 1000 DVD covers for around £100 inc VAT and delivery. Great. You do the work and upload a CMYK PDF and a week later you get a box of covers. I can’t tell you how much of a headache this has removed from my day to day business.
