• Morning
  
  Hope you are well. My wrist is slowly recovering, enough to type a quick newsletter. My sound and editing team managed to finish the tiny changes to MAKING IT IN HOLLYWOOD to start getting it out to festivals, broadcasters and studios. It was quite strange watching it during Oscars week, when exactly two years ago when filming started, I had wished Kate Winslet “Good luck for tonight” as she walked towards the red carpet. 
  
  This week I went to see Scott Christie in Jekyll and Hyde at the Union Theatre at Southwark. Tonight’s the last night so be quick to get along and see a great production of this classic. The direction, writing, lighting and performance were all first class and it was nice to see a fringe production with such high production values. It's a great setting under the arches of the South Bank of London and it's enhanced with smoke machines and clever lighting to scare the living daylights out of their audience. Boo !
  
  I received a copy of The Ouija Board, a horror film I had a small part in a few years ago. It's finally seen the light of day and heading to horror festivals. Then I got asked to be in a Zombie movie playing a Glaswegian that you can't understand. No acting involved clearly.
  
  The Big Picture project also made a big step this week. We’ve selected 4 scripts to take forward to potential investors next month. There’s a lot of talented writers out there but we feel we’ve selected some great stories which you’ll hear more about over the coming 18 months of production.
  
  
  It's all happening. Hope it is where you are too....
  
  Enjoy your week, and don’t forget to listen to http://www.nevisradio.co.uk @ 12-2pm on Saturday’s where you’ll hear some of my favourites from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

  Puccini's Tosca at The Richmond Theatre
  
  Korn/Ferry Opera Holland Park’s Tosca feels like an original production –an amazing feat considering how well known this classic piece is. So good is this production that even minor characters are compelling, delivering brushstroke after brushstroke to the final masterpiece.
