Missing for a Month

If anyone didn't realise, I've been missing for a month.

No, I was not kidnapped or was on flight Oceanic 815....

I have been back in Sydney!

Not many knew I came back. Actually, only 3 friends knew the exact day I was coming back home. Everyone else, I'd be telling that I'd be back in a few months.... that I had to make a short film in HK first.

Then walla, a month ago, I hoped on a plane, took a taxi and scared the buddha out of my grandma when I rang the doorbell and spoke in a menacing tone: "Open the door!"

I surprised my Mother as well as my girl.

Nothing much has really happened since the month I've came home.

I've gotten my old job back at Council, which is great, since I love the flexibility they give me there. They know that being a filmmaker is my fulltime job. I've also gotten a new car, at a price which is good, considering the brand and amount it has driven.

Oh, and I haven't forgotten about my films either. I've been meeting up with Charlie, and working on pre-production of our short films. Mine as about eternal love, titled, Eighteenth Emotion at the moment. Whereas his short is entitled, Sixty third time, which is about a break up.

Ah.... and to make things more exciting, the Telstra Bigpond ClickHere has organised a competition to conincide with the Sydney Film Festival. Film makers are required to shoot a 1 minute short film entirely on mobile phones, but able to edit on a computer. The competition's theme is: "My Town".

Check out two of my films on their website so far:

"Scrab'd"

"Whatever you want to call it".

Hopefully one of them will be picked as the 6 short listed films. And fingers crossed, I can get people to vote for me as audience favourite, or even better, the Judge's Award, which is a trip to the Toronto Film Festival!
