The trailer for These Final Hours.  I played a small role (but pivotal) role in the movie.  So pivotal, you may not even recognise it’s me.  I’m looking forward to seeing this.  We shot it in 2012.  Looks great.

In cinemas June 12.

Woohoo!

So, you’ve got your structure sorted, but there’s still something not quite right about your screenplay. It’s flat, it lacks the necessary OOMPH!, and the characters that are kicking arse in your head just seem lifeless and uninteresting on the page. Then it could be that you’re missing one or more of these basic elements that every scene needs:

A very interesting infographic, particularly if you’re having difficulty structuring your screenplay.  I don’t entirely agree with it.  For instance, the end of the second act should be the point where the protagonist can no longer go back to their former lives, but they are too afraid to go forward.  However, it provides a useful template to get you back on to track.  Just don’t handcuff yourself to it.  

Only you know the best structure for your film.  There is no one correct way to do them.

It’s been a very busy week with premiere for The Assassin; Tropfest in Northbridge Piazza and the Perth Film Network Party.  

The Assassin is a short film about a hapless hitman, that manages to kill just about everyone except the intended target. I play one of the many victims.

It was great to be able to watch so many Tropfest films in the open area in Northbridge. While I don’t appear in any of them, I do many of the film-makers. They all have done some astounding work.

It was also great to socialise at the Perth Film Network with so many wonderful friends and colleagues.

Lots of fun.

A Boy Named Bank was a commercial we shot over two days in September 2012.  Day one was spent walking up Murray Street in 80s clothing.  It took us 50 takes before the director was happy.  Ouch!  My feet were aching.  Sadly all that effort  never made the final cut, but that’s showbiz.  

Day two was much easier spent shooting at night in Innaloo shopping centre.   It’s particularly memorable because of the great friends I met for the first time on this shoot.

Update: Unfortunately, they’ve removed the video.

I shot this Alinta commercial in August 2013.  It was a very cold and overcast day.  I arrived on set early and was able to watch them shoot the guy in the budgie smugglers with the Harley.  He must have been freezing.  They eventually relented and during a close-up (never used) they allowed him to wear a pair of ugg boots.

My scene was the last one shot that day.  It was so dark, we had to get one of the residents to turn their car headlights off.  And yet, the cameras are so good now that it looks like late afternoon.

The Meaning of I is a music video for Voyager.  I shot this in May 2012.  The director of Bloke was the producer for this and called in nearly all the actors to work on it.  

All I can remember was that I had to wear shoes that were 2 sizes too small.  My feet were red raw afterwards.

You Gotta Be a Bloke Mate is a music video I worked on in May 2012.  We rehearsed these dance moves for over a month and it took 3 exhaustive nights to shoot it all.  I made some great friends.  Fond memories.

Unfortunately, the video was removed from YouTube by the content owner.

I just had a great day shooting The Queue down at the Fly By Night Club in Fremantle. Lots of fun and an outstanding cast and crew. Thank you everyone for a great day of laughs.

The teaser for Everyday Hero has just dropped.  I’m really looking forward to seeing this.  The cast and crew were excellent.  Loads of fun.
