4 days to go...


On 3rd of May The Hunt For Gollum will be live and online for FREE streaming at
www.thehuntforgollum.com

Release Time:
Our awesome web-guy David Rendo will be putting the film online at 4pm (GMT) on our site - just as we sit down to watch it at the public premiere at SCI-FI-LONDON.

We'll also put out our documentary, some cool clips, the soundtrack and info on our next project...

So - how does it feel? Exciting - relieving - but I'm most looking forward to celebrating with all the talented people I've met on this journey when we have our premiere and party. A year ago we were on location filming an Orc battle, and a year before that I was writing out the script. So it's been a pretty intense time (can't count how many all night editing sessions!) and I for one am looking forward to a little break before I start the next project... which may (I can reveal) be something related to the concept of Human Residue
It will be an original feature film which we're hoping to do with the same kick-ass team, but this time we'll be looking for industry funding to get it off the ground as a low budget feature. We'll see where that goes...

Anyway after a long journey and an amazing experience of film-making, I can release my first real film to the world... The Hunt For Gollum. And take cover...! The main thing - it was a hell of a ride - let's see what we can do next...

Release Date is here!

hey folks, well Gollum and I would like to announce that on 3rd May 2009 you will be able to watch The Hunt For Gollum online in HD!



RELEASE DATE:
SUNDAY 3rd MAY 2009!!!

We'll be streaming the film (which now runs at well over 40 minutes) in HD and have some very exciting news to come about the festival it's launching at. Also the work the team are doing on visual effects, sound, music and editing is very spectacular indeed and i take my hat off to my team who are pulling out all the stops to meet our deadlines for this release date. Well over 100 volunteers are now working on the film and it's a pretty unusual thing, which I am very lucky to be directing.

I write this from the madness of post-production, which i'd probably best get back to without further ado. :)

Meanwhile here's a fellow who we might be seeing a little more of in this adventure...
