'The Revelation of Reverend Jones' was shown at the Torino LGBT festival. Alas, despite the festival offering to put up Nigel and the director, volcanic ash meant they couldn't travel over. However, according to a member of the festival team: "I might say your short movie got quite a huge success. Some local radio programs talk about 'The Revelation of Reverend Jones' and the audience was satisfied indeed."
Well, you can't say better than that!

Progress on the Road to Transylvania is slow but things are happening. Best not to say too much until there is something solid to report. However, a very well known character actor is interested in playing the King. We have some fascinating contacts, including a vampire group in London! Others have said they definitely had something to offer, then vanished. Here's a tip. If you don't want to help people in the film world, well anywhere actually, don't say you will! It's never a surprise when this happens, simply a bore.
'Just One More Night' was shown recently at events in Manchester and Brighton.
'Just One More Bite' is heading towards 20,000 viewings on YouTube, which indicates something - probably that it would have been nice to have £1 for each time it was seen!
