On Monday we attended the premiere screening of independent feature film 'Folklore's Intimates' at Whirled Cinema in London. Here are some photos us with of the cast and crew, and the trailer.
Review to follow shortly.

"Young folksinger and mild-mannered pacifist Herbert Meakin, finds himself torn from a peaceful life and dropped in the midst of a guerrilla war. Entrenched deep in the woods and faced with the constant threat of an unseen enemy garrisoned in a nearby town, the bewildered Meakin is forced into an unnerving bond with a group of stir-crazy soldiers.
After a string of silent killings escalate camp hysteria, the erratic Major Parradocks initiates his 'master plan': to encircle their camp with a defensive twig alarm system in preparation for further aggression. As the camp prepares for the inevitable onslaught, their already brittle sanity is worryingly strained. Meakin is left with a big decision: stay and spend his final days fighting alongside this band of maniacal comrades or escape and risk leaving behind his last realistic chance of getting home."

Yesterday we attended the London Surviving Actors event at the Radisson Blu Portman Hotel.


"Surviving Actors was set up by actors for actors to help and encourage them in all areas of their life as a professional actor. We run acting conventions (trade shows) throughout the year to help actors develop and sustain their career and to create new opportunities for themselves. We do this by creating an environment where actors can meet industry professionals to help develop a career in acting.
The convention is free to attend and gives people the chance to meet and network with other professional actors seeking work and looking to develop their careers.
The events are a realistic and honest approach to real life as an actor; we don’t shy away from the off-periods.
Our extensive range of workshops and seminars also help to focus on the craft of the actor as well as supplying essential advice on the practicalities of working as an actor."
- Surviving Actors
