Bewildered by getting identical copies
\nof the same letter, St Albans leading
\nfilm maker (since Stanley Kubrick passed
\non) looked again and discovered he had
\ntwo short films accepted for a festival
\ninstead of just the one.<\/p>\n
Both Last Train<\/i> and Fate & Fortune<\/i>
\nhave been accepted for this month’s
\nWilmington Independent Film Festival
\nin Delaware. “Delaware. That’s a type
\nof pie-dish isn’t it?” quipped a
\npasserby. Humour Police are still
\nsearching for the author of that joke.<\/p>\n

\nhad completely misheard the email
\naddress for the person he wanted
\nas co-producer. The problem came
\nto light when she called to ask
\nwhere her script was.<\/p>\n

\npasting parts of a message on the
\ninternet where he’d listed things
\nfor her to do. Meanwhile someone

\nlocating identical props and costumes
\nfor a rival comedy being made by
\nGremlin Productions.<\/p>\n
Actor jilted<\/b><\/p>\n
Charlie the actor was turned down
\nfor the role of Charlie the driver
\nin a fairly short undramatic phone
\ncall this afternoon. “That’s okay,”
\nhe said, with the same casual lack
\nof emphasis which has left so many
\nfilm directors unmoved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
