Today was a good day.....

Well, today was a good day. First i went to Broadway cinema about the possibility of filming in there one day this week. I spoke to the arts director who was more than happy to help and let me film and she also suggested screening in the Broadway when it's finished, which would be immense ! Thankyou very much Broadway......

Then i went down to the Playhouse and asked about using one of their stages, the woman on the stage door told me to put it in writing, so i went away and wrote a letter explaining my intentions, printed if off, went back down to find a new woman on the stage door reception who told me there would be no way because there are sets on the stage at all times and they're running until June sometime. Thankyou very much the first woman on reception !

That was a waste of an hour. You have no idea what it feels like to print out a letter, put it in an envelope, then ask someone to put it in the bin for you before it's even been opened ! It's great i can tell you that.....

But the trip wasn't completely wasted as i managed to lift my gloomy head to notice the Playhouse bar ! went in there and spoke to the manager who was, once again, more than happy to let me film. That's three locations confirmed with a possible fourth waiting in the wings.

I wish it was summer so i could just film people outside. But i don't think Derren Brown himself could get people to stand in this freezing cold and watch magic !!

Hopefully, i should have a real good understanding of what i'm working with by this time next week......
