Well, I gotta say, that was a pretty successful launch for my long-time baby. I mean I knew it was good in my heart, but hearing others say it is such a relief. I knew we had quality but to see it on screen. All the hard work from all the cast and crew up there for all to see....& judge...
Dear all, just a quick note that the RTS session is up on Nat's clips section - enjoy!
So many Radio interviews today, and each one of them a lot of fun. I see Radio Wales has been highlighted. That was my first one, there are plenty more BBC local radio segments coming up. Also an RTS forum tomorrow with both Gabi and Dome, our writer and director, which I am really looking forward to and then the Sunday Brunch moment. I don't quite know the format of that yet, but hopefully it will all become clear.
Just a quick one for doing your catching-up on Nat's latest news. He just did an interview with Behnaz Akhgar for BBC Radio Wales. Please head for the station's website - the link should also work from outside the UK for a couple of days - so hurry up & enjoy!
Heellloooo,
In the theatre you get a "Press night". True the press actually come over a series of nights, but that's not the point, they release what they think of the play on a particular night. Same with a movie "release date". On TV there seems to be a more spread out version. And I think I love it! The sense of anticipation is palpable in my house. Yesterday my lovely co-exec Ed Rubin, who runs New Regency TV and has been my guiding light in this whole Beast Must Die project, called me to say we have some reviews in. Previews I thought he meant, but no, Reviews, And they made me smile. Mostly with relief. Relief that the talent is getting recognised and that as "creatives" our work has started to pay off. Our job is to get the story out there and for the talent and the hard work of the team to be recognised. So, "A Swaggering clash of acting titans" in reference to Cush, Jared & Billy is Pretty bloody satisfying to say the least. Of course there is just a smattering out there so far, but I can see why theatre producers hang quotes outside their theatres in pride!
