I said it. It feels so good to get that off my chest. You're such a supportive group. Thank you.<br /><br />(Deep Breath)<br /><br />It first started when my Mother took me to see Mary Poppins when I was bout 5. That big screen and the bright colours captivated me like nothing else. From that moment I was hooked. Nothing else could replace the thrill of being lost in another world with such dazzling images and startling sounds. I feel sorry for my Mother. There were no health warnings. No indications that her child would become instantly addicted. She had no inkling that this simple family outing would become an obsession that would rule the rest of my life. How could she know? I bear her no resentment. Some people can walk into a cinema and never feel the urge to repeat the experience. Some can do it occasionally, as a recreational experience, and then not attend for months or even years. Me? I have the cinephile gene and I just can't get enough<br /><br />Yo give you an idea of how bad my addiction got I would sometimes stay up watching a really crappy movie in the hope that it would get better. Take a moment to assimilate that fact: I would intentionally lose sleep to watch a film I wasn't enjoying in case it improved and I wasn't there to see it. Inevitably my work suffered. My relationships, too. Nothing could compete. With the advent of video, Satellite TV and DVDs I could potentially watch movies 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. That's when I knew I had to do something. And that's why I'm here.<br /><br />(pregnant pause)<br /><br />So anyone wanna make a zombie movie?<br /><br />(cheers and the sound of little school chairs scraping on the floor as everyone leaves)<br /><br />OK so that's not quite how it happened but never let the truth get in the way of a good lie, especially in the movie industry. Suffice to say thata group of us have gotten together (I know gotten isn't a word but it's MY blog dammit!) to make a Zombie movie called Consumed. This is our story.......<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13120102-115279775608217131?l=devlin-carnate.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Devlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09974950581404268566noreply@blogger.com0
