Visible Poetry Project in NYC

Visible Poetry Project have woven the films from this year's project into curated selections for this summer's New York City Poetry Festival. The themes were Experimenting with Form (Non-Narrative Poetry & Experimental Film), Women in Words & Film, Immigration & Assimilation, and Modern Love.

Would so loved to have been there to enjoy the whole experience. But this time, it wasn't to be.

Coyote Wedding by me, and written by Brittani Sonnenberg, was shown in the 'Experimenting with Form' programme.

1st Newlyn International Film Festival

9/4/2018

Sadly I wasn't able to make the trip down to Cornwall for the Newlyn Film Festival. I would have loved to have been able to hear Lucy English talk about her Book of Hours project as well as see some of the other films and talks. However, I am proud to say that Blue Flash Flash was screened in the Poetry Film category, and also the exciting news that I am about to become one of the filmmakers for the Book of Hours project which is nearing its completion date in October.

Digital Graffiti 2018 at Alys Beach, Florida

27/3/2018

Very, very excited to announce that 447 Intellect: N has been selected to be shown as part of the 11th outing of Digital Graffiti

The location and the event really does look stunning. I can't help but wonder (a Carrie Bradshaw voice has suddenly appeared in my head) what Floridians will make of my eclectic little film. And I can't anticipate what its going to look like, and whether or how the sound is going to play out.

But whatever happens, going by the images from last year it looks an amazing event.
