2018 Highlights - Three Little Words - The Video and more

Three Little Words

The below video was filmed without an audience (which does make a significant impact).
It was really great live with many laughs and some gasps.

Hope you enjoy it regardless.

Watch HERE

Performed by Tom Harwood.
Adapted from the short story in Pseudo Stars
It got us through to the Crew Cut Finals where Tom won Best Actor.

And I got this....

There was also this...

....plus I made this...

I also uploaded a couple of old short films which have never been publicly available.

Reality Unfastened and Born in a Storm.

It's been a big year, especially the first half, yet still a big struggle, as documented here.
That's life hey!

How was your year? Anything you care to share?

Best New Talent at Short n Sweet Festival Sydney

I don't know about New, but I'll take the rest...

For writing and directing Three Little Words.

I'm in back under the letter 'w' haha

In front this time

Seems a lot of fuss for a ten minute play. But there was 130 of them! (from over 1000 submitted scripts and 500 participants).

And after 30 years, I'll take it! Gladly!

My Short Play reaches the Finals

We are into the Finals as selected by the Crew and Staff - known as the Crew Cut. We are up against 11 other plays.

(see below picture for event details)

We came third in the audience vote too, which was a huge surprise. It's a bold play with a lot of swearing, so tends to shock some. That's part of the character. So honestly didn't expect the audience to take to it as they did. The comedies tend to fair better, and indeed, a comedy came first.

Tom and I are both thrilled to have made it this far. I'm not sure how they score the finals, but I'm really not concerned about that. I'm just happy to be a part of it. 

There's also the potential for it to travel to other Short and Sweet Festivals throughout the world. Well, Dubai, India and the U.S. and several places in Australia. If it happens, I'll be sure to announce it.

Action!   Take no prisoners Elvis!


Big thanks to Pete Malicki, Lydia Kelly and all the staff at Short and Sweet Theatre Sydney,
and of course,
the indomitable Elvis, Tom Harwood.

Great news!
We came third in the audience vote, which I really didn't expect due to the swearing and bold nature which I knew would offend some, so this was a real surprise.
And we came first in the Crew Choice! 
So we are off to the Finals on March 29th and 30th!

To have gotten this far is just amazing to me. 
I was happy enough just being part of it.
All the plays were great in their own way, so a shame that some get left out.
I'm very proud of Tom and what he brought to the character. It was a great
collaboration. What you hope for when working with others.
