  • Entry 14: Cooking A Website With Gas

    I met with Joel, Sebastien and Danny of Voyance Insights today. Gave them the big pitch – that if they assist our company, Veritas Entertainment, to create a website for free and it’s awesome – that they will have the opportunity to pitch Contained The Movie Pty Ltd for the chance to handle online marketing […]

  • Entry 13: We’re In

    It’s been pretty quiet since our visit to Canberra, mainly because everyone just has to wait for Chamberlain’s Law Firm to write up all of the documentation required to facilitate the birth of the legal entities needed to make Contained a reality. Work has been work – hectic and time consuming – so it feels […]

  • Entry 12: The Weekend In Canberra

    The weekend in Canberra. As we drove up, Ryan and I had a lot of fun chatting about life in general, abusing each other for not following directions and laughing a lot at stupid jokes that I’m sure anyone else would’ve found incredibly lame. We hit Canberra on the Friday evening, and found our way […]

  • Entry 11: Normal Life

    For the past few days, normal life has dominated our existence. Work is still work, and family life is still family life. I find myself valuing the time I have to see The Missus and the kids even more – I know it’s because the thought of being away from them for such a long […]

  • Entry 10: Great Phone Call

    I responded to an email from Andy that came through yesterday. He said that The Film Distillery staff had their first day of discussion about how to make Contained. There was also some points about raising the crew, and special effects teams that are in the running to work on the film. It’s all starting […]

  • Entry 9: Shut Up And Wait

    So after on-going discussions with Ryan about what we think are the logistics and challenges of the production, I wrote up and sent through the following email to Andy: Hi Andy, Hope you had a great weekend! I have a few items I’d like to touch base with you on, but I’m keenly aware that […]

  • Entry 8: Your Half Of The Fees

    Ryan drove back from the Murray early so we could get together and talk about what all of this actually means for us, and our families. We met at a restaurant in the town that I live. I pulled up next to him in the carpark, got out and shook his hand, and then we […]

  • Entry 7: A Waste Of Breath The Days Behind

    Monday. D-Day – unless they delay the announcement again. I know that I did things over the weekend. Things happened. Some of those things were probably of consequence. And yet, I have no memory of them right now. All I know is that today is Monday. To bastardise Yeats, the days to come seemed waste […]

  • Entry 6: Preemptive Healing

    Friday. The day that we were guessing the ‘winner’ might actually get the call, to free up the ‘losers’ to hear their bad news news on Monday 25th. We haven’t heard dick. At 7:32pm, Ryan starts this text exchange with me: Ryan No call then? Richard Nope. We are out. Ryan Yep. We gave it […]

  • Entry 5: Silent Scream of Angst

    Wednesday, and halfway through the ‘extra’ week we have to wait to hear which of the lucky candidates are safely through as the first film to be greenlit. My job represents a 10 to 12 hour day more times than not, so the hectic working week offers plenty to keep me, and my partner The […]
