Just finished a short film 'Codswallop' based on the postcards I've been doing. Hopefully it will be showing at a festival near you soon.
‘Codswallop’ is a subconscious drift through despair, frustration, joy and redemption.
Based on a series of stream of consciousness postcards sent by the filmmaker to their son, ‘Codswallop’ features a collection of surreal characters at crucial moments in their briefly glimpsed stories.
Beware of hats!

I've left Greg to post a million things on the blog and been terribly silent for a while. But lots to muse upon not least because I went to the Edinburgh Fringe in August. More of that later. One of the acts I missed while there was the 5 star rave review rated Camille O'Sullivan. Fortunately she's now on a tour and I saw her last Friday at the Town Hall in Birmingham. Never been to the Town Hall before - most impressive after its refurb. Camille was marvelous - amazing voice and utterly potty - going from the heart bleeding sincerity of songs like God is in the House (a Nick Cave song) to invading the crowd and making us all shout 'meow' at her. Very entertaining. Go and see her if you can.

We're off for a weekend in Amsterdam. No, not that sort of weekend. We're off to the Klik! Animation Festival (12-14 September 08) because the lovely people running the festival have selected our film Codswallop for their Open Competition. It's not our first film to get into an international film festival (our films are better travelled than we are), but it is the first international one we're attending so we're really looking forward to it.

Amsterdam... where we went on the weekend of the 13-14th September to visit the lovely people at the Klik! Animation Festival. Our short film Codswallop was runner up in the Open Competition which was great. We also met Oscar winning animator Suzie Templeton and her lovely chap Rosto who were very complimentary about our film too. Klik! have this great thing where they hand out clickers, so at the end of a screening instead of just clapping, there's also lots of clicking (or Klik-ing).

'Still' A series of seven exclusive prints available to view at the Lighthouse in Wolverhampton during the Flip Festival. The text comes from Myles' regular bouts of free writing which Greg has interpreted in a black and white hand drawn style.

Hooray! Flip is on it's way. The Midland's very own animation festival is back for its fourth year in November. We will be there in various guises - with a print exhibition, showing our Dogg cartoons for 4mations.tv and also chairing a discussion about Doctor Who animations. And this year Greg has also designed the look for Flip Festival with a variety of kookie characters.

Our short film Codwallop has been selected for another film festival... this time the Anchorage International Film Festival in Alaska, who were good enough to show our film The M Man a few years back. That makes eight festivals so far. Fingers crossed for more.
