Post has begun on the new film

I've not been dedicated in keeping this blog up to date.  Not because I've particularly been lazy, but mainly because I've been so busy, first with pre-production, then with filming and then with returning everything and finally with getting things back on an even keel.  Today or I should say yesterday, seeing as it's 1am; I hit another milestone.  YAY.  I handed over the precious cargo that is my raw footage, to the editor.  OMG, on one level I feel like a surrogate mother who has carried and nurtured a baby for nine months only to hand the child over to another mother once it has entered this world. Trying to find a suitable editor was a tricky process, I met five wonderful candidates who were willing to work on A Mother's Journey for very little pay and I really couldn't choose between them.  Rather than flip a coin, it actually came [...]

A Mother’s Journey

By |2016-12-31T02:17:30+00:00April 16th, 2015|Film, Thoughts|0 Comments

Those of you who are on my email list or who have been on my website, Facebook page or read my Twitter feed, will know by now that I’m trying to make my second short film called Mother. Heads up here, there’s a likelihood we’ll be changing the title to “A Mother’s Journey,” which I think is a tad more descriptive. Anyway if you haven’t seen any of the tweets, emails or Facebook posts soliciting your goodwill; the skinny is that, I’m continuing the story of Lola Ogunwole, the protagonist from my award winning book Imagine This. Lola is a character that seemed to linger with readers and they wanted to know what happened to her. I jokingly said I’d be writing a sequel, which in theory I have, just not as a book. :-) I’m sure most of you have figured out by now that, A Mother’s Journey is [...]

Yay, I'm soooooo excited.  The new poster for my upcoming short film Mother, is ready.  I'm excited because although I've yet to receive any funding or shoot a single frame, it finally feels like things are moving forward.  So hopefully by Spring 2015, we'll have something in the can. Mother continues the story of Lola Ogunwole, the beloved character from Imagine This.  You can read more about the film HERE.

African Literary Evening

By |2016-12-31T02:17:30+00:00October 28th, 2014|Uncategorized|0 Comments

I'll be spending an evening with some amazing writers at the Proud Archivist in North London.  (See flyer)  So come and hang out, listen to some stories, connect with new people and make new friends. Those of you that know me, know I shudder every time I'm asked to do one of these literary events and more often than not I give in to my aversion for public speaking and say no thank you.  However, I'm working on getting over my discomfort and once again I'm putting myself out there.  In the spirit of sharing, I'll be reading an updated version of the story which started Imagine This. There will be books & DVDs to sign, Christmas is coming up and surely you'll be needing to get gifts for your loved ones.  The money made from selling copies of Imagine This and More Cake will be going towards my next short film Mother [...]
