I know. It’s been a while.
That’s not to say nothing’s been happening – we’ve been busy
bees over the past few weeks. But, instead of writing up my many pages of notes
into screeds of blog that you’ll definitely get bored of, I’ve decided not to
do that. You can get bored with this instead.
Last time I posted, we were midway through possibly Maddrim’s
biggest project; I refer to the Grain Media films. Both the Drama and
Documentary groups finished their filming, sound recording, editing etc. in
time for the premier “rehearsal” on the 22nd March. Nike came up for
another weekend of workshops, which I’ve been told were good (though I was away
at the time), shuffled around some of our shots and fine-tuned everything to
make our films look even snazzier.
The premier was on the 25th, and afterwards a
Q&A panel was open for questions. On the panel were me, Peter, Cara, Joe,
Lauren, Martha and Anthony Cox. We got some interesting questions from the
audience, including from Chris and Roseanne’s mam! The films were very
well-received and have now been shown in a few different places – schools and
at the MV awards ceremony a couple of days ago. In short: WELL DONE GUYS!
Poverty is Bad; we’re fixing it.
Maddrim resumed “normality” the Monday after – our first
Grain-Media free meeting for a while. Again, I wasn’t able to go because of
LOTF rehearsing (sorreh!), but I’ve heard snippets about the next wave of
Maddrim brainstorming...something about a desert island filled with an
assortment of characters...including a clown...
I’m sure all will become clear.
