World Wide Web
Who'd have it? The World Wide Web... irreplaceable ... unbeatable and infuriating at times. For some time I have owned the domain http://www.brokenarrowfilms.com however my web site hosting was with a different ISP and therefore I used Internet forwarding to redirect traffic to my web site via the .com portal. No problema you'd think and you'd be correct until my ISP shut down its hosting service. So now I purchase the domain & web hosting with another ISP under the address http://brokenarrowfilms.co.uk and transfer all my web pages... boring but necessary work! All that remains is to update my web forwarding for the .com domain above to redirect to http://brokenarrowfilms.co.uk .... easy yes? Easy no! Without naming and shaming the .com domain registration site I can only say that the redirect function is still not functioning! So to bring an ugly story to an end, please use http://brokenarrowfilms.co.uk to access my web site until further notice... end of message!

Women of Manhattan
If you find yourself in London over the next few days why not visit a small intimate pub theater. There are several in London but if you're quick enough why not try The Old Red Lion near the Angel UG. I can personally recommend Women of Manhattan currently playing. Some fine performances and an insightful glimpse into the female psyche. A grander affair than my short A Martian Eclipse but a subject close to my heart as us men struggle to understand the so called fairer sex. Go on go treat yourself!

A Martian Eclipse
All other projects, in the hands of others, are at a stand-still so I'm pushing ahead with my own very short film A Martian Eclipse. Jack Marshall will be my cameraman again (see A Question Of Content blogs below) and will most likely be my editor. I've short listed my cast (more on this later) so it looks like we may be able to shoot this project in the near future. Watch this place!
It seems to me that the only way to ensure a project gets produced is to be the Producer yourself. This is easy enough for shorts but it is usually too much for a feature. Still I'm hopeful that The Bloodline feature will start moving again soon once my Producer can devote some time to the project. As for Babbage I'm still waiting for a response from Frame On Frame (see blogs below) but I can only assume that silence is an indication that they agree with my assessment of the appropriate way of dealing with the Intellectual Property Rights.

Moving Forward II
As part of my get moving plan I have put my "award winning" short A Question Of Content into another film festival - the Long Island International Film Expo. This was made extra easy as Withoutabox has introduced Secure Online Screeners, which removes the need to post DVDs around the world... Great! Watch this space to see how the experiment goes.

Moving Forward
At last some forward movement...
It looks likely that Jack Marshall and I will collaborate on a couple of shorts. Jack has-got/is-getting some great new kit/SW, so my A Martial Eclipse and one of Jack's emerging tales may still get made for Cannes 2010. Of course I've yet to cast for AME so if any actors (slightly built, less than 33, less than 6ft and with film experience) or actresses (less than 32, 5ft 9in or more and with film experience) are interested please send details to mail@brokenarrowfilms.com.
Jack also reports that the "Intruder / AQOC " DVD should be available before Xmas (if anyone would like a copy at a discounted price please contact Jack or BAF).
The Bloodline is still on hold (Producer too busy) and my divorce from the Babbage project has yet to be finalised. We have not be able to agree how to deal with the Intellectual Property Rights accruing, to brokenarrowfilms, over the months of work put into the project.
