Shooting on episode 1, the pilot has been underway for the past week now, so things are moving along. There will be a short break in filming over the summer break, to recommence from the end of august/beginning of september. Episode 2 is edited and is awaiting post work and a few pick up scenes. The screening will now be postponed until the final pilot episode is completed, post, music and all, and will hopefully screen with extracts from episode 2, or possibly both complete episodes. Will update as it progresses. Stay tuned. In the meantime, if you haven't already, check out the promo via the link below, and spread the word.

*UPDATE APR 29 '08*
Some delays in editing due to scheduling, but it's at a rough cut stage, minus the last few scenes to be shot. This of course pushes the screening back a bit, but updates on that shall be made as it progresses. In other casting news, Naomi Ncube is playing the supporting role of Chrissy, who makes her first appearance in episode 1, and then recurs in later episodes. More news soon.

NEW YEAR UPDATES
*PILOT UPDATE**
I can now confirm that we will be taking proposals again for direction of the pilot episode. Due to various circumstances the previous director is unable to work on it and is going to work on future episodes in the series.
Proposals may be any length and format that the scripts/stories inspire you to do, and so should really be your own voice. You should talk about how you would approach the episode and your impressions on the themes and elements of the series that strike you, and anythign else that you feel is appropriate to why you are the one to direct it etc. As of now i'm setting a 2 week window for proposals after which the selection would be made. Email me for scripts if you do not already have them.
* END UPDATE***
*IMPORTANT UPDATE* JAN 21ST '08*
Just a little reminder firstly, of the meeting on the 26th Sat for all key players in the first season.
On a more important note, due to various circumstances beyond our control, our Episode 1 director Az Saleem may not be able to stay with the first season. In the event of which we would be needing a replacement Director of the pilot. This is not confirmed, but if there are any potential takers (All you late pitchers and those who didn't get a chance to submit their interest etc), do make yourself heard so we can stat prepping you in time etc if we do indeed need someone to come on board.
Of course once it is confirmed, and once we have sleected the replacement if there is one, that person would ideally be present at the meeting this Saturday. The door is open.
Have a good week everyone.
