AND THAT'S A WRAP!!

Matthew Steans as 'Eric', aka BinBoy. 

So, having had loads to say on a super busy each and everyday throughout last week, I failed to blog. Sorry world.

But good news film fans! BinBoy successfully wrapped Saturday evening at 6.32pm, Greenwich Mean Time. It was a long day, and I'd like to make a few 'thank you' shout outs to the following people:

Firstly, the film's lead actors: Matthew Steans and Ilana Lloyd. Two very talented performers who took direction exceptionally well, and used it to deliver solid, natural performances. Matthew especially had a loooong day of it, but didn't falter for a second - and thank god - his eye for continuity got us out of  what would have been a few post-production nightmares!

Also, Peter Halpin and Anita Elias, our seasoned pros who delivered with ease. They both nailed their characters, allowing me the luxury of concentrating on all things behind the camera.

Then there's our fantastic young cast who kept energy levels high with their cheekiness and entertaining performances. They kept the entire crew smiling while we captured some fantastic footage, with serendipity providing us with some lovely little nuances that will provide a few comedic flourishes to the film - can't wait to get in the edit and play about with them.

I'd particularly like to say a BIG thank you to all chaperone's who gave up their Saturday morning for a long and lonely slog in the green room - we couldn't have done this without them! A further BIG thank you to Leon and the St john the Baptist School team for allowing us full access - we couldn't have asked for better more accommodating location.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to Rossy Georgeson who has been the single most important influence in this entire production. Her keen eye for natural young talent and immense skill in developing it gave us our superb cast, and without her efforts (and contacts!) this simply wouldn't have been possible.

Lastly, I'd like to tip my hat to my ace crew Ben Tivnen, Sam Evenden, Billy Everett & Hattie May Perkins for bringing their A-game, stepping up to the plate, and delivering under a pressured shedule. There was a lot to get done, and a lot of people to keep happy, and the day ran super smoothly thanks to all their efforts.

Now on to the edit! There's still alot to get down and not much time, but I'll back with an update shortly.

Catch your later, Uncle Pota'ta.
