House

I've bagged a fantastic property for Exposé, so we are a go for filming.

Its a beauty, an Elizabethan manor house, with moat and bridge. We had a detailed recce with the director, DOP, and art department - and you could see how excited everyone was to be able to film at this place. Can't wait. :)

And I finally found where the é was on my computer. Only taken me a month of implying that we were making a film about a flasher! lol

We've upscaled the house requirements for Expose. Gone is the farmhouse/cottage, now we are looking for a Country House/Manor house lol.

I have visited some AMAZING places recently. Some incredible houses with so much history sloshing around that I they dont know what to do with it!

One house, Great Tangley Manor has a room made from the beams of captured Spanish Galleons from the Armarda! lol. But also this house has had a few kings stay over the years. And there seems to be a trend of the Monarch scratching their name into a set of windows! lol. King George and Queen Mary, and King Edward VIII (who was called Albert)

But still looking for the prefect house. There are actually so many I dont know where to start! loo. Fingers crossed.

Cottaging

I'm heading down south for a couple of weeks tomorrow to find the cottage that is the centrepiece of Expose (why, what did you think I meant?) ;)

Got some nice places lined up for viewing, so fingers crossed the director will like what I have to show him.

I've been immersed in cottages for the past few days, and some are beauties that I would love to live in. There are some crazy places out there that have been made from converted Windmills, Watermills, and Lighthouses. Frankly, I would love to live there. Fingers crossed!

Expose

My next job has arrived. I am Location Manager for a low budget horror feature film called Expose.

This has come about from The Rapture, more specifically from one of the producers, the brilliant and funny Jonathon Sothcott. Me and JS got on well during Rapture, and I am very pleased he thought of me when this one came up. JS is partners with Martin Kemp, who also was in The Rapture, in a film production company and this is one of their projects. Martin will also be directing it, so I have been emailing him with questions and things already.

Its a great little script - a nice mix of psychological horror, and well, real horror! lol It is mainly set in an isolated cottage that features so much that it might as well be one of the characters. And that's my job! lol Got to find me a very specific and creepy looking place.

So I will be back down south in a weeks time for a couple of weeks. Cant wait! Wish me luck!
