The Project Norma Awards
Jul 19, 2006 03:55AM
I forgot to mention: MY SHIP IS COMIN' IN grabbed the following awards at the Project Norma premiere screening:
Best Film
Best Screenplay
Best Director (shared)
I must say I feel the awards were deserved.
Anyway it's always nice for one's work to gain some recognition.

How It Came To Be
May 19, 2006 05:41AM
I think it's important to talk a little about how this film - my first - came about.
It was made as part of a screenwriters initiative called Project Norma. This is how it worked. Teams of filmakers are given a brief randomly selected from seven story models, seven genres, seven locations. We got Tristan And Isolde (the love triangle) as an Action/Adventure set in a bar or restaurant. Madness. Personally, I wasn't too thrilled with that selction - an action/adventure with no budget to be shot mainly over two days? -but with Norma you get what you're given. You either accept the challenge or you walk away. We didn't walk away.
That was last May, I think.
We completed the script in June and the shoot went ahead at the end of August (with a wee re-shoot in December!) in the Empire Music Hall, Belfast. Our budget spiralled to a massive £490 (possibly less), including the cost of replacing the loan camera's microphone. But we emerged this March bruised and battle-hardened and clutching a film to be proud of: a ten minute action/adventure, made for less than £500, that works.
I confess here that I didn't think we'd make it out alive. But we did.
Special thanks go to Susan Curry of Wine Inns for letting us film at the Empire, to the actors for giving their considerable talents for nothing (and to Patrick Duncan for helping to cast them), to Richard Fleming and Mark Davis for their fight choreography, to Allan Gildea for his post-production work, and Graeme G Stewart for his brilliant (last-minute) score.
And thanks, finally, to the organisers of Project Norma for giving us the challenge: Richard, John, Michael.
