My son, the movie star!

This evening I have been invited to the premiere of a movie. By my 11-year old son Ivan! He is very interested in making and starring in films and spends a lot of his spare time working on them. Last summer he was involved in making a film called Space Cadets with the Moviemakers group at Stamford Arts Centre. The film was originally premiered last year but, even then a special edition was planned. In the intervening months Ivan has been involved in re-shooting a number of his scenes and his part as Security Captain has grown from 1.5 seconds to a proper role. We'll now get to see him die gruesomely from the effects of explosive decompression!

Space Cadets is being entered into a number of film competitions and Showcase Cinemas will be showing it as part of their Saturday Cinema Club. Hence the premiere this evening at Showcase Cinema in Peterborough. Ivan has been told to dress smartly and cool (New rocks, YPTs, Shades, Long Leather Coat) and will get to walk along his first red carpet! I'll be taking him along with a number of his classmates. You can probably tell that I'm really looking forward to this evening.

He's now working on the pre-production for the Group's Easter project - Gel! A remake of Grease; with the Pink Ladies becoming the Chav Girls! I think Ivan is playing the leader of a gang of Goths.

On the up!

( Chums are great! )

I'm feeling a lot more positive than I was earlier in the week and I have lots to look forward to and feel thankful for.

Proud Dad - Take 2

Alexi has not been idle whilst Ivan has been doing all the film-making. He may not be updating his LJ (althesaurus), but he's been busy with his art

Enjoy!
