This is a blog about my attempts at starting a career in film: popping all my little clips on here and asking your opinions and advice, since I’m very much a beginner. The occassional other ramble will probably make it’s way in here too. If you want more detail go to the ‘About Holly’ page, or if you’re rich head for ‘Give me Work’ instead.

A few weeks ago I paid a visit to the ADC Theatre to film Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’. Despite not being a huge fan of Miller’s plays I really enjoyed the production: the performances were astounding, the set exciting (I always get excited by sets with stairs in them) and the direction visceral. I used my HD camera to get close ups at the dress rehearsal and some backstage footage after Thursday’s performance, and my little camcorder to catch the whole play from a wide angle on Thursday evening. I’ve finally managed to edit the film together, from over 5 hours of footage. The film of the play itself can only be shown to the cast and crew (ADC’s rules), but I also made a short, fun piece of mostly backstage stuff that will be a bonus on the DVD. I’ve posted it below as a sort of trailer. Hope you like!
