ASK & DISCUSS INDEX

9 years, 1 month ago - Thomas Pickering

Hello All,

I'm a writer/director who's been out of the directing game for the last year or so - I'm looking to get back into the swing of things with a couple of projects I want to work on.

The last short I directed was entitled Comedienne, written by my brother, and it had quite a lengthy and successful festival run. My brother has been fortunate enough to option the feature length version of the script, so sadly I cannot put the short online in full, however, the trailer is below if you would like to check it out:

Over the last year I've been getting a couple of my own feature screenplays behind me, along with a number of different short scripts I have also penned. I'm able to push these down numerous different avenues, so at the same time I would really like to get a couple of other projects off the ground.

I have a number of short screenplays I would like to put into production, with the intention of directing one myself and handed the others off. I'm very interested in seeing what other likeminded creative individuals might do with my words. The shorts won't be related as such, but will all explore a common theme of death or loss (crossing different genres), with the intention of being made available online.

I also have a documentary surrounding the health and fitness industry I was initially going to pitch and try hand off, but having thought about it I'd really like to pursue it myself - anyone interested in getting involved is more than welcome.

Ultimately, I really want to touch base with other creative minds - I have always worked with the same crew in every project I have been a part of. Whilst this is great in many ways and I have every intention of continuing my work with these guys, I also want to meet others from different areas who I can potentially collaborate with. Apologies if I've been slightly vague on some of these projects, but I intend to elaborate if anyone shows any interest.

If you'd like to discuss anything in more detail, or perhaps have something of your own you want to chat about, or even just want to talk all things film, then feel free to drop me a message.

Regards,
Tom
