Film Fu

Printing Last Train will cost �2,500 which includes grading and blow-up and then after I can get extra show prints made for �165 each, although I might not need them (fingers crossed). The most expensive part of this process is the blow-up from Super16 to 35mm (�1,300) which of course teaches us valuable lesson, Grasshopper: Always shoot on 35mm. And always blag everything for nothing.

So, Grasshopper, next step is to finalise end roll credits, bite the bullet and pay for them. Then they can be printed on to film (about �600 plus tax) and cut into the negative. Then cut negative (final cost of that bit is another �350 plus tax) can go to lab. It’s now Friday, obviously, so this won’t happen now until next week and somehow I need to magic up �4k. Or walk on rice paper without leaving marks.

Another credit card at 2.9% for six months, do you think? Or remortgage the house? Anyone need any copywriting done?

Oh, and there’s still Fate & Fortune to pay for too…
