I have just completed my first production on ANNABEL LEE. So excited. This is what life is about!!!! This means I need you. YOU. To spread the word. Our dates are now fixed. 7th 13th December. How cool is that! Working with my daughter Angel. Hooray. Our Kickstarter page will be up very soon. But I think it's time to spread the word. I don't do social media, as you know, but I know you all do. We want to make this a stunner. The various lists of benefits of donation will all be on the Kickstarter page.
Annabel Lee is happening. This is a short film written by Angel, my eldest, from a poem by Edgar Allen Poe. I am thrilled by what she has written, but it is not just me. We have found a marvellous director, Amy Coop, who has done 8 shorts as producer/director, and masses of experience as a 1st and a 2nd assistant. 3 of her 8 shorts won Best Film at different festivals, and has just completed the directors' course at the BBC. I will be in it, briefly, as of course will Angel, as the main part. The rest of the casting will be decided soon, and I will announce it through this page and the crowd-funding website. Not entirely sure which website yet, but we are nearly there. Basically, I need support. It's a big budget for a short film. I know many are done on iPhones nowadays, and many by students with mates. Indeed I have done quite a few shorts where I have not been paid, even made them with Oli, my brother when we could only afford to pay people champagne and smarties.
Life has been more than the usual helter skelter recently. Around 8 years ago, we as a family moved lock stock outta London. Not easy to leave my Notting Hill Gate roots behind, but it had to be done and Anna did find the most amazing valley in deepest darkest Gloucestershire. Heaven. We built our own place and lived in glorious countryside with space, fields, animals and clean air. So why did we come back? All this theatre over the last few years has not contributed much to the Parker funds and as far as time goes, it has meant I have been 6 nights a week in London leaving family, or at any rate Anna, in the middle of the countryside, and barely making it home to collapse on the 7th day of the week. No way to live. So, the big decision was kinda made for us. And we now live in a really nice house on the outskirts of central London. Not a suburb, but not quite in the middle. Tell you what, there are lots more cars, much more noise, millions more people, and far too many pavements. I will be honest and admit that I miss the village of Avening a lot. But we did sell to a lovely family, so at peace with the move.
