BulletList Teaser and Future plans

Hi Guys, I turned 28 today. Holy shit, time flies fast. I look back at my days lived so far and I can honestly say I've achieved a little, married (7 years this December wow), moved cities, did a little work in the dream department (TV and a feature film, awesome!), did a little work in the career department (work in a bank -at least I have a solid planB), but I really thought I would have made a huge dent in my dreams by now, guess I have to try harder this year ;)  Most of the actors I looked up to really hit their mark in their 30's after struggling for sometime, got to remember even Brad Pitt started as an extra. (video proof below lol, it's interesting howhe turned into a bigger name later in their careers)


 When I get back from Holiday this year I will do an acting course, sign with an acting agency and really get the ball rolling. Looking to get back into training soon too, realized a reason I feel a little bit missing in my life is that I haven't really done martial arts training in last couple of years. Running rings around people at futsal doesn't have the same life and death appeal of avoiding a punch and countering with a sidekick and shuffling away. ;)

On the Bulletlist front there's been no real progress this week. We got the car back yesterday which is awesome, means I can have transport to and from shoot's again. Shame about the 1,200 dollar pricetag but better a car than no car.....I'm Hoping to shoot a chunk of main scenes next week, fingers crossed I get reliable casting :)

Below is a quick teaser of what we have done so far, just a couple of shots, so you can see some of the progress thus far, -only 2 days of shooting in the can and no ADR yet either. Why do I set myself such ambitious goals? (might be 25-30 days shoot as only shoot for 3-4 hours due to budget/time)

I'm trying to come up with a quick non action drama short film I can shoot between shoots...anyway, enjoy the quick BULLET LIST teaser below...

27 now, about time things got real.

11 September 2013
 Took the day off work for my birthday and went to the new minigolf place in town with the wife and basically spent the day chilling out. It was pretty fun, nobody else was there and we had the whole course for ourselves. Here's some photos below I've taken I can share, almost as if playing golf while a T Rex stalks you is entirely natural haha





Other than that nothing terribly exciting has happened over the last few weeks, learnt a new role at my job so I'm more senior now which is awesome. Job security had always been a big point for me when I applied so that makes me happy, now do I chase a new role at the end of the year? I discussed with my wife and my bosses that I will wait til the end of the year, see if I get my movie off the ground and re-evaluate my position...


Chelsea!! Thanks to Premier League being back on I've been playing a ridiculous amount of football/futsal myself. Tues mixed, weds outdoor on artificial turf with friends, friday league, and mon/thurs if needed. So much so I feel as though I'm doing nothing towards my goal of getting ripped and being an ass kicking machine, on the court I'm scoring which is awesome, but I want to be pounding fighters in the gym and building my character. I never entered the Sanda competition, as I knew people training everyday for that, I've been training zero. But I will try support the boys next week when they go out swinging.

So here I am, procrastinating again, before tackling my script again for 'Fight me', I've written the first 10 pages and seems fun/do-able at the moment. I'm also planning a sequel to Ambush, Just a short film to stay in shape, Steve again, except fighting me, stay tuned for screenshots of that when I shoot that next week :)

But now to work on my career! So boxing/filming/writing/self promo here I come! I found a cool spot when we were walking back to the car from the golf place and asked the wife to take a photo for my website, I looks pretty pro huh ;) Anyway til next time, never give up!!
