[Andrew David Barker @ADBarker]

I've always wanted to write an honest production diary and #shortfilm BABY ON BOARD seems like the right project to begin one. @HorrifiedMag will be publishing all the exclusive diary entries. Here's the first entry -

@Tales4All @DemelzaO You do, and she’s fantastic in it

[Bricks & Mortar Films @films_bricks]

It’s been awhile, but we’ve been off making films. @ADBarker’s HERE LIES… starring @IMidy, @DemelzaO & @_MariaForrester is now in post, as is Ashley Price’s GLORY DAYS starring @mikeTstevenson, @IanMalcolmsWife & @Chriswalkeract. Both will be completed early 2023!

[Andrew David Barker @ADBarker]

The edit of HERE LIES… is locked, pending tweaks, of course. Now off to sound designer and composer. After that, final tweaks, titles, and then colour grade. Phew. Currently clocking in at just under 12 minutes. Onwards!

Next #shortfilm is coming together now. Amazingly well, in fact. You never know what's going to happen (or what can derail you), but getting a very good feeling about this one. Onwards!

I seem to have written the first ten pages of this micro budget feature idea. Guess I’m writing this then.

#screenwriting can spring up on ya!
