Hi Everyone,
Hope you're all well, I've been quiet again on here for the last few months but been v. busy so wanted to post an update.
As some of you know I run my own film & video company and may remember a thread I started late last year about a sailing-themed romantic comedy feature film I was working on which would be based on the East Coast. This is still progressing and we are in the process of raising funding and investment for this at the moment. I''m just waiting for confirmation from IPC/YBW about what I can and can't post about it on the forums as it's sort of commercial in nature and i don't want to break the house rules, so more on the film a bit later.
What I am also doing, however, is a documentary series (shot in 3D) about historic ships and classic boats. It's self-produced and *not* for TV at the moment, likely to be blu-ray disc in the first instance. I'm shooting a couple of subjects in Bristol at the moment, one about a replica square-rigger and another following a boatbuilder constructing a wooden clinker yawl. I'm currently looking for other classic/historic boat subjects as I have overseas interest in 5, or possibly up to a dozen, more to form a series, each in a half-hour format.
So I thought I'd ask you guys'n'gals whether any of you have an interesting classic/wooden *sailing* boat with a story to tell and are interested in it being featured in a 3D documentary series? If so could you get in touch? I'll of course try the East Coast Gaffers Assoc and the Thames barge people (although that's a series in it's own right) and maybe Classic Boat although I don't quite know what's going on there since they left the IPC fold.
You can PM me in the first instance if you're interested or would like to know more, although I may be able to answer some questions on here
Thanks!!!
Neil
