New novel back on track

Work is finally back underway on the new novel, after a three-month break due to the pressures of the day-job. Actually, if I’m honest, it was more due to hitting a snag in the story. I overcame it by simply letting the scene play out in its own way as I wrote it, and I liked what happened. We’re sitting at around 26,000 words now, and it feels like I’m three quarters done.

Article on Midnight Pictures in Film Ireland magazine

This month’s Film Ireland magazine has a two-page article on Midnight Pictures. Thanks to the writer, James Gracey, who was a production assistant on Don’t Look in the Attic. Great article, James. Other unexpected publicity came from the RTE television show The Blizzard of Odd, who featured the film on this week’s program. I missed it, but Andy has it taped, so I’ll have to see if I can get it onto the forthcoming DVD. I am constantly amazed by how much press coverage Midnight Pictures has received in 2005 - and most of it just fell in our lap, rather than us chasing it. I’ll have to get everything typed up and into the press section of the site soon.
