Last night, I was lucky to have had the opportunity to listen to Kim Longinotto talk about her documentary Dreamcatcher (2015).
It was quite suitable to spend international women’s day with one of Britain’s greatest filmmakers ★

Hai guys ♥
So I’m super-duper enthusiastic and full of energy today ★
I’m attending a Q/A with documentary filmmaker Kim Longinotto this evening followed by a screening of her film Dream Catcher. You’ll hear all about that tomorrow ♥
But for today I’m going to go ahead and talk about the big B word: BUDGETING!
A short blog post today as I really need to pull my finger out and get to work on finishing my dissertation and redrafting Frozen Lake.
Have you ever watched a film set in a specific location of the world, only to find that the filmmakers didn’t actually film at that said location causing you to jump out your seat, jab a finger at the screen and gasp in horror?
I’m looking at you Fargo.
So after several attempts of dyeing my mother’s hair pink through fits of laughter, I’ve decided to write about one of the things I encountered during the writing process of Frozen Lake: PROCRASTINATION.

I didn’t really have a plan at the beginning, nor did I know at first which feature I’d make. But I had to do it. And I have to do it in the next few years.
I have my reasons, but that’s another post for another day.
Anywho…
I tried a few ways to kick-start my feature film.

Last year I started planning my first ever feature length screenplay: Frozen Lake.
At first Frozen Lake was just a little idea that I forced my head to conjure up in order to pass one of my second year film modules.
We were told to write a treatment for a feature film idea with the intention of transforming it into a whole script in our final year of our film degree as our discipline.
“Yeah, right…”
In the dystopian future of 2075, an immortal man in his mid-fifties, who has been in and out of prison for nearly thirty years, is discovered by a hurt and bitter fourteen year old girl, who is thrown into prison awaiting death’s row. She evokes a memory of his long forgotten promise to his daughter, and together they successfully flee from the prison and embark to the man’s hometown at the Frozen Lake; a journey they must take in order for her to be free from the grasps of the repressive society and for him to be free of the clutches of his painful past by finally fulfilling his thirty year old promise.
