Into the world

Thanks to all those who came to the treatment reading today at Katipo. It was a small but focused crowd, and it was fantastic to meet you all and hear your thoughts / feedback on the film. I appreicated all your support, and especially the thought and encouragement you put into your comments.

If you weren’t able to make it, you can now download the treatment from the link below (PDF, 45Kbs). It’s 15 pages long, and takes about 20 minutes to read, so if you’ve got a spare lunch hour this week, please do take a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks again to Katipo for hosting the gig, and my two wonderful actors, Erin Banks and James Stewart, who did a great job in bringing the reading to life.

Will post some photos of the event in a day or two, and possibly a podcast of the reading depending on how the audio turns out.
