Filming finished

The filming for First One to Die Loses VII has finished, and the producer/director/auteur is currently working his Welsh ass off to get it all done for the premiere. So far, there is talk of having two premieres, one in Wales (where the shoot took place) and one in a swanky up-market venue in London. Should be something to keep a look out for, it will be BIG!

I drove down on Thursday 3 August in the afternoon (left work early) and made it down to West Wales in under 4 hours, which, coming from London and during peak times, was pretty impressive. I am still waiting for DVLA letters to come through the post to tell me that they have some interesting footage of that trip.



Anyway, arrive there, had fantastic dinner with the cast, sat round the fire preparing next day's shoot, and then on Friday we shot all of my scenes in one go. Some of the fighting between myself and Flash del Montay (played by Harri Grace) got pretty messy, but the footage looked great. I moonlighted as a Black Mamba in a couple of the scenes as well just to make up numbers. All in all, it was a fantastic shoot and I cannot wait for the result. In the meantime, check out http://www.firstonetodieloses.org.uk for more pictures, rumours and information.

After the Friday shoot, I drove back down the M4 in order to prepare for my adventure in Italy. More about that to follow suit.

Filming today and tomorrow

The first scenes for the highly anticipated First One to Die Loses Part VII start today. I will once again be reprising the part I played in FOTDL IV as the poker-playing, whiskey-swigging mafia boss The Don. Expect more explosions, car chases and high-quality fight scenes. More information about First One to Die Loses can be found here [www.firstonetodieloses.org.uk]. Part I-VI can be viewed directly on the website, or on YouTube (search for "FOTDL").

Happy viewings

So, what's this blog all about

As many will have realised, this blog, currently in its 6th day of existence, lacks a clear goal. At the moment, it consists of a random selection of photo's and very little text explaining what it's all about. However, I think that this is partially the beauty of a blog, it can contain the random expressions of texts, pictures and thoughts, without necessarily leading to a higher perceived goal. Having said that, solving the crises currently affecting such a large part of the world's population would be a pretty honourable goal, yet currently highly unrealistic. Therefore, this blog will endeavour to explain, explore and inform the world about my life and adventures.

Enjoy life!
