The second of my entries on the SciFi Challenge from film makers who entered and the lessons they learned… today is ‘Luminous Sky’ by Catarina Oliveira and her team. Here you go… I first heard about the Sci-Fi London 48 hour film challenge at the Guerilla Film Makers Masterclass. Initially, my idea was to volunteer [...]

My throat aches, my muscles are seized up and may head pounds. But I feel FANTASTIC! The Guerilla Film Makers Masterclass was an extraordinary success this year, anyone who was there will testify to the magical atmosphere. I am so exhausted right now I stall can’t think straight, but I just wanted to touch back [...]

If it can go wrong, it will go wrong. That’s the motto for Guerilla Film Makers for sure… It’s also what happened to me this Christmas… one highlight being the moment the locking wheel nut key, the only way to remove a wheel on a car (my tyre had blown out), slipped and bounced out [...]

As I sit here on a Friday night, wondering how long can it actually take to move my blog from Typepad to WordPress, I am reminded that anything worthwhile always takes longer than expected. As we coined on our first feature film ‘The Runner’, ‘it will take twice as long and cost twice as much…’ [...]

Could This Be My Last Blog Post from Typepad? Yes the time has come for me to leave Typepad and leap into bed with a self hosted install of WordPress (and still at www.ChrisJonesBlog.com). It’s been a long time coming too, and frankly it would have happened a year ago had Typepad not made it [...]

Come and join us at Ealing Studios, along with 300 other filmmakers, writers and producers at our Summer networking BBQ. This event was hatched at the phenomenally successful Guerilla Film Makers Masterclass as a direct strategy to keep us all connected, so we can help each other write, produce and distribute our work.
