DUYRs Editing the 6 minute version.

Hello everyone.

Now the Virgin Media short trailer version is in the competition. The focus will now be on completing longer version.

We have a rough cut.

Rod and I will sit down soon and crack on with it, as I got festivals to enter. The challenge will be to make longer version better than short. Can we do it? Stay tuned and find out.

Hi All,

I'd just like to say a big THANK YOU to every one of you who helped make Digging up your Roots. I felt the shoots went fantastically well and that it's all thanks to each and every one of you. I have learn't a lot an am also hoping you've all got a lot out of it as well. I can't have ask for more than I was given.

Just to keep you all posted, I will be taking a break, away from the project for a week, as it has been apart of my life since November. Once I'm rested I'll crack on with Rod in getting a rough cut of the film done, I only hope the movie will justify all the fun and talent that was at hand and my disposal.

Take care everyone, thanks again and I'll keep you posted on the editing of it. Digging up your Roots, over and out........... for now.

Fixed Date

I have spoken with actor and July or later shooting dates are out of the question. This has left me with one Definite shooting date Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd of June a date EVERYONE (except Nick) has agreed they are available for.

I have commitments to get back to my actor and Cemetery people ASAP, so please could you all confirm ASAP.

I will also be putting a PRODUCTION MEETING together in a couple of weeks. I can't afford to slip up again so I am relying on all of you and need your help.
