We did it! We won ‘The Best Guerilla Film’ after being nominated for the award for ‘The Day I Tried to Live’ at the AOF Film Festival in Pasadena, L.A. This is a huge acheivement for us,  we are delighted to get award and not only that but to receive it in person. The AOF Film Festival was one of the most friendliest festivals i’ve visited; from the Filmmakers at the events of films and the Awards night to founders and festival Directors Del Weston , Josh Neufeld and Michael Mahon that was showing his film ‘Strength and Honor’ there.

It was an all round warm Festival to go to and i met some interesting Directors, and people along the way! We will continue to promote ‘The Day I Tried to Live’ at more Festivals in the U.S.A, U.K, Europe and wherever will accept our film. So if you can come and watch our award winning film while it’s circulating!

We want to make interesting, original and innovative work; short and feature length with budget or without we’ll ride on…watch this space.

Like art immitating life, what a fantastic journey it was to travel thousands of miles alone, across to West Hollywood, Hollywood Blvd, Pasadena, L.A, and of course the O.C….and it was all well worth the while with some great surprises along the way. I couldn’t have gone to half the places without the help of a someone thank you Camie you’re a star!

A space pod crashes from the sky and a body washes up on a Spanish shore line, so begins a tale of one man’s journey of discovery. The sea is hostile, the place a paradise, and the people are strange. Far from ordinary he experiences happiness, woes and alienation in his time here. Unfortunately he did not come alone; ghosts of past, fears haunt his every step. A tangible hope and search to find another of his kind turns to desperation as the fading sun quickly descends.As the sunsets the man had lived a lifetime in a day.

This can be seen as a straightforward story and a parable.
