So normal day to day, got up at 6am and got in for 7 as had a topshop conference, quite a simple event with nothing that was going to keep me entertained until I found out that the Richard and Judy show were doing some filming for their Film Club (I think) and as shit roles down hill and my boss didn’t want to get his face on camera I was up front and centre and got my little face on camera. Now before I quit my job and start the climb to fame this would not be the first time I would have been on camera. The ‘How it works’ TV show decide to cover projection and cinemas and I was the projectionist in that, there must have been hours of filming and doing the same thing over and over again just to watch it on TV and there was nothing of me! I'm thinking this filming may just go the same way.

I finished my Shane Meadows films with 247 last night, its a black and white film (I remember the mess to used to make of the projectors when I ran it) and like most of his films they are set around the north/midlands in poor areas. This one is set around a man trying to get a boxing club set up in a bid to reduce crime and to re kindle his love of the sport and what he had done at that age, so he invites the local Yobs and get this 2 groups of people who don’t like each other too much to work together. I have to say it is a good film and is what I have come to expect from Shane Meadows, but with this expect a film that will have its serous bits and you may not walk out after watching it feeling to happy but I would not expect anything else from this director.
