Countdown

The excitement and workload are both ramping up. Hard to believe that we're standing on the threshold of making this film after so long. And it's all fun (with just a tad of hard labour)!

There's a constant raft of small problems to be solved each and every day, but with a good team we manage to get through them. Yesterday one of our locations got canned when we discovered Coca Cola were constructing a huge Christmas tree right where we were going to be filming. But within an hour we'd found an alternative and had it permitted, thanks to the brilliant team in the production office.

There's a buzz of anticipation, and we find constant small reminders of the goodness which has followed us all the way along the long and winding road of The Insatiable Moon. There's a magic here which can only be spoken of quietly from respect for it. It's a delicate but gentle force accompanying us as we go.

May the goodness shine on.

And yes, that is the photo of the real Arthur who inspired the story.

  1. Wonderful to see that '2 days" mark Mike, & to hear "Insatiable Moon" mentioned at a big SPADA conference session yesterday (frustratingly, I can't remember exactly what was said). & especially wonderful to see Arthur himself. All the goodness in the world to you all for the shoot, Marian
