Tyr has a disturbing past and is trying to peace together her childhood, spent in Norway, by writing about it. She is finding it increasingly difficult, Chloe often seeks comfort with Tyr from her father when he is drunk and abusive. Tyr shows a certain amount of sympathy and helps Chloe but is but remains very much in isolation.” Production Team Director: Mike Harris Producer : Susannah Hynes Casting Director: Sophie Eve Sayeed Cinematographer : Mike Harris Editor: Lucy Cordingley Sound : Joe Wilson Planned Shooting Week : 18th - 24th

The Advisor Production Team Director : Mike Edwick Producer : Susannah Hynes Casting Assistant : Sophie Eve Sayeed Cinematographer : Nick Elsby Editor and Sound : TBC “A man awakens to find himself in a world between life and death. There awaiting him is an entity whose purpose it is to offer the man a choice. Is the man’s life worth going back to, or should he continue on to whatever fate may lie ahead?” Planned Shooting Dates Between : 1st - 13th April
The Advisor  Draft of the script completed.  Main location secured by Director (Mike Edwick)  Currently scouting for flat location (potential viewings this week)  Casting will begin on the 25th Feb, although we have actors (previously worked with) in mind for both roles.  Rehearsals to follow.
Production Manager Rock Paper Scissors Director: Sophie Eve Sayeed Producer : Sophie Eve Sayeed Cinematographer : Harriet Judge Editor : Will Titterington Sound : Mo Patel Production Manager : Susannah Hynes Production Assistant : Anthony Bean Planned Shooting Date : 15th - 18th March - Attended numerous production meetings. - Attended each casting session. Including assisting in the planning and preparation of exercises. - Taken responsibility for the child actors who will play bit parts in the production. - Assisted in scouting for locations. - Agreed to take control of the shooting schedule, call sheets and on set management.
Director Negative Affirmation Production Team Producer: Susannah Hynes Director: Susannah Hynes Cinematographer : Mike Harris Production Manager : Sophie Eve Sayeed Editor : Christian Sinclair Sound : Nick Popka & Callum Scott Dyson Planned Shooting Dates : 11th - 14th March “Dana takes her family to visit her estranged father, Richard, some months after her Mother’s death. He has lived alone for fifteen years and the visit disturbs moments in their past he has been fighting to protect for years.” My script is currently in first draft due to other productions taking priority and a complete alteration of my original idea. I am confident that I will be ready to cast by the 25th February.
Journal I’ve been using Tumblr to blog online and record my progress since last year. I find it useful to jot down ideas, thoughts and inspirations in a physical notepad when I’m travelling or without access to a computer. I then spend a few hours every week writing everything up.
Freelance Work  SIPPO I have been working with the Swiss company, SIPPO on a number of projects, in particular, editing the two promotional videos I shot in Zurich and Munich in October. The first video has been received well and will appear on their website at the end of this week. I am currently editing sixteen separate videos for each South African Tourism company that I interviewed during the project. I am hoping that I will be able to collaborate and possibly gain some more freelance work through these individual companies.  Deafway I recently finished the final edit of a fundraising video for the St. Anthony’s school for the Deaf that I shot in Uganda last year. It has been shown to trustees in the UK and will be viewed at the school this week.  I have began work on an edit of the documentary footage I filmed during my trip.
Future Plans  I am currently awaiting the release of applications for the BBC training scheme and talent pool. This requires in-depth research into the role of Production Manager Assistant. If successful, I will begin a years contract from September onwards.  After my recent volunteer work with Casting Director, Janet Hampson, I feel that I have a better grasp of the casting profession and have discussed possible assistant work in the future.
Challenges  Producing four films, production managing one, alongside my freelance work, a bar job and deciding what to do when I graduate is difficult to balance. However, I feel I have now effectively time managed each project so that the appropriate amount of time is given to each film.  Despite the worrying fact that my script has not been developed or made it past it’s first draft, I am confident that I will, through use of some well established contacts and a dedicated production team create a successful film.  There may be a few difficulties that become apparent when shooting ‘Seafront’ in Wales, I have allowed time for transportation to be organised, and Christian has put aside a substantial budget to cover expenses and needs of the actors throughout the shoot.  I still need to put some time aside to focus on my directing so that I do not neglect my commitment to the role, which will have huge impact on the success of ‘Negative Affirmation’, working with Sophie Eve Sayeed as my production manager will take some strain off the difficulty of working as Producer/Director.
