Today I was filming for Queen's University students in Belfast city centre. It's a project I got into late, having only received the script on Monday, but we got through the first of two days filming today.
Produced by Shauna Coyles, the film, as yet untitled, was written and directed by Declan Murray, with DP duties being handled by James Ward, sound by Conall McMeekin and editing by Kerri Kelly.
We were shooting in Queen Street Studios, in the offices of Triplevision Productions, with the owner, Eamonn Devlin, doubling as actor in the project.
There is another day of shooting tomorrow, and the completion date is set for December 15th, so I should be able put some footage on the site then.

Extra on Christopher and His Kind
Today I had my second day on set on the Mammoth Productions TV film of Christopher Isherwood's memoir Christopher and his Kind. It is a BBC production, with a big budget, and Matt Smith (the new Doctor Who) as Isherwood, and is directed by Geoff Sax.

It's great getting a first person perspective on the set for a big period production, especially since it's set over three different decades of the 20th Century. The crew are all incredibly professional, and my fellow extras are very disciplined, and are always entertaining to be with (which helps in a sixteen hour callout).
Obviously, my intention is to be in the main cast for productions like this, but every step is a positive one, and I look forward to this screening in the winter.

Shooting Simpleton
I just wrapped on the first day of my latest project, Simpleton. It's a supernatural tale about a young bullying victim, who gets a wish to be smarter. I play Mr. Rosseau, his suspicious teacher.
The production has taken on Gilliam-esque difficulties, with two of the actors dropping out at literally the 11th hour, and one of the crew breaking her wrist, but we got through a day of shooting, and will be meeting up again on Monday for another day.
