Script writing and other computer bound tasks!

Happy New Year. I hope you all had a good break. Mine was spent painting the lounge room, which is now a lovely shade of yolk yellow and white!

After a recent heat wave here in Melbourne I am once again back in my office typing away. First port of call for the new year was two articles on The Berlin Porn Film Festival and some of the brilliant women I meet there, Candida Royalle, Petra Joy, Ovidie and Shine Louise Huston. This also meant I finally got to view the armfuls of film I brought back with me from The Berlin Porn Film Festival. A few stand outs were "Champion: love hurts" by Shine Louise Huston, a seriously hot and queer film for women that was beautifully shot, moody and brutal at times. It was great to see some real porn for lesbian rather than the high heeled hetero male fantasy we are served up in mainstream pornography. Petra Joy's "art-core" Female Fantasies, great art direction and excellent sexual chemistry between the actors. Jennifer Lyon Bell's serious sexy short film called Matinee and I revisited Ovidie's Stories of Sex(es) which is still hilariously funny and sexy at the same time.

"The Band" is showing at the Athens Porn Film Festival this weekend, so if you happen to be in Greece please go out and check it out!

I'm still wading through the rewrite of "Talk to me". I was hoping to have it done by the silly season but it didn't happen so I have until the end of the month to make it work! Then I will sink my teeth into creating a trailer for "making it handmade" which should be up on Youtube sometime in Febuary, but I'll let you know.

I must return to my re-writing and I promise to post more regularly this year than I did last!
