So we’re now in production for these 2 new epic movies – Red Torrent and Tidal Justice. As always we’re going to shoot them out in Langley BC in the middle of summer. For those of you that don’t know Langley BC, it’s very dry in August (no Torrent) and it’s about a 90 minute drive from the ocean (so no tide). As you can imagine, a challenge like this really gets the creative juices flowing – though sadly not enough to create a torrent.

Our esteemed director is the legend that is Ron Oliver – he’s incredibly creative and will of course think a way around this minor problem. We’ve spent the whole day driving around the Fraser Valley looking for just the right campsite (that’s camping with tents, not camping with a drag queen and stripper, sadly), just the right house (grand but not so expensive that we can’t afford to shoot there) and just the right bit of road to race a car up and down without actually having to pay the police to close it down. You’ll see a theme here, I’m not keen on spending all of the money up front – because when the wheel comes off half way through the shoot you have to have something to fall back on!

More soon!
