"Black Flower"

Still attempting to get this behemoth off the ground. It's been rewritten more times than I can count, and now it's based in Liverpool and Northern Wales. Currently we have a start date set for April 1st, 2023 and have offers out to some actors. With a little luck, it'll happen - this is our best chance yet. More as it comes along.

It'll be interesting to see just how much it changes from what I had read. I'm not familiar with the locations visually so I have no real frame of reference for the cabin location and such. Colorado I know, Liverpool not so much.

Bryan, yes. Martin Lejeune and Dave Brain are also hired, even though they don't know it yet (nor do they know it's being filmed in the UK). Also Nick Long is helping out as a producer as well. It's a family affair.

I had to get rid of the snow, which actually traded with the gloom of the weather in the UK quite well. The whole "never see the sun" aspect works well. It's definitely a very different vibe.

Long time since I've been round these parts, how's it going?

I'm a Liverpool local, so more than happy to help out with this. I also help run an acting class, so I've got plenty of options for if you need any local actors.

Rememeber the rules of filming in the UK in the eyes of an international audience - If it's filmed in the south of England it's "a movie" and if it's filmed in northern England/Wales/Scotland/N Ireland it's "a foreign movie". I jest of course, but I feel like that's worth thinking about when it comes to festivals etc :D

You're tempting a heatwave now. You're going to fly all the way here to have Liverpool temporarily look like California.

I'm kinda serious. I'll take a month off work and help do whatever. I'm too old and broken to sleep on a floor, that's my only issue.

I felt a disturbance in the force and was compelled to log in. :lol:
You should definitely talk to Mrs Faldor about costumes, they're just finishing up on a series for ITV.

Whoa! Cool, sounds like a party. We're looking at a March 27th start date at the moment, IF we get the cast attachments. Would be cool to get everyone involved somehow.

I didn't even consider the "foreign movie" aspect. In the same way that I hope "Road to Perth" felt like an oddly un-Australian look at Australia, I hope we can do the same for the north of England / north Wales. haha we'll see. It helps that we have a couple "Americans" in the cast (even though they might be played by Brits). I will say there's a tremendous amount of exposure to UK films/tv that didn't exist ten years ago in the USA... so hopefully audiences are more keen to take a chance on a "foreign" product. haha...

Yes. Let's figure this out. I'll hit you up once I know for sure the movie is actually happening. Would be great to have you there!
