The End is near...again!

Busy putting the last touches to the movie before it receives its first screening at this year’s Sutton Film Festival on 1st October 2006. Its been over two years since the initial conception and its been a rather enjoyable but painstaking ride. You never know how the movie feels and paces until all the pieces are fitted together. Interestingly, I was recently interviewing filmmaker Neil Oseman for the FANZ documentary and we chatted about his low budget fantasy film Soul Searcher.

Four years in the making and by all accounts, a very tough shoot indeed but his determination at seeing his goal achieved paid off in the end with the film receiving DVD distribution. A though Return to Ravenswood was a relatively trouble free shoot (mainly), the problems with logistics, schedules etc. are a constant battle and I think on any movie, is all part of the filmmaking process. Whereas Neil had battling demons and CGI pits of Hell and we had heathen hippies and sheep, it’s all the same game plan in getting your film finished and ‘out there’…how far out there of course, only time will tell.
