Well that's it...I am done with the university and have a BA degree in Film and TV Production...well almost. Officially I will get it in November but the school is over.

So what's next... Don't know really... Got work at the moment at Nomadic Films with some coolest people in London and have another job prospect on the horizon. We'll see what comes next. For now I just want to chill and clear my head for a little.

Apart from that...pretty busy on the music front. 
Firstly I am going to see the mighty Deep Purple in August of course.
Still strying to track down a ticket for Whitesnake and Def Leppard..I havent given up yet, I still cannot accept that I will miss this coolest line up ever and prepared to even go by myself...Not the first time either..
And of course Heavens Basement are still keeping me happy with their rockign tunes and lots of gigs. 2 more coming up on the 1st of July and the 17th - which is going to be at the awesome rock event called Paradise City in Soho - and I might as well work there.

So all good. 

Here's a great photo of my lovely girls at the graduation showcase - the same girls I have worked with on the Hellmann's commercial so sort of a reunion :-))




And this one's from my sister's and mom's recent visit in my most favourite place in London - and I live 15 mins from there!!!



aren't we good-looking? :-))))

Peace and Love! x

Here's a poster of an invite to our film school's showcase on Friday 13th - what a date!
Even my mom and sister are flying in from Estonia.

Fingers crossed it won't be a fiasco :-)

And then SCHOOL'S OUT FOREVER! 
...although I might possibly go for an MA at some point...

Hail to the future of British rock. They are here and they are IT - Heaven's Basement.
The headline gig at tiny Camden Barfly on Tuesday was the best I have seen them yet, they just keep getting better and better and it's only been 2 months gigging. 
Brilliant!
Catch them while they're playing all over any small live venue in UK 'cause soon they'll be playing Wembley!

Just back from the cinema after watching the new Guillermo Del Toro produced film The Orphanage. First impression - brilliant. I don't think I haveseen such a good horror film in years: stunning cinematography, amazing story, incredible direction and acting, great sound design. It is everything a horror film should be but it is also a wonderful dramatic story, rather inventive storytelling and boy, I don't think I have ever got chills during the film. I have seriously considered leaving the theatre as I could not take it anymore, it was that terrifying...Not so much in the imagery, but in the suspense..it was that hauting.

A definite must see!

Went to Kodak Student Commercials 2008 last night where we were magically short listed. It was held at the legendary BAFTA with drinks reception and a nice 3 course meal. 

Did we win??? 

     

1st Place in Best in Brief - Hellmann's! Oh yeah. First award of my life :-) (of this scale, anyway) Thank you, Kodak!

Well...If anyone of you ever had bronchitis, I don't envy you. I have had it for TWO bloody weeks now and it doesn't let go. Awful stuff. The worst thing is I haven't been able to work all this time and now there is no work so my bank account is shedding tears...

On a brighter note... Don't know if you know but I made a 30'' commercial for Hellmann's last autumn as a part of the Kodak Commercials Student Competition 2007 and it has been short listed - meaning it is in the FINAL. We get to go to the awards ceremony at the begining of March. Exciting. Frankly iy is a cute little commercial but I did not think we'd go as far. 



Also... we are in pre-production of our graduation film now called Trouble Under My Skin. All I can say is...it is going to be rather bloody...I am Assistant Director on the film. We are filming at the end of March. At the moment we are organising a fundraiser. As last year, we are going to walk 30 km in order to rase money for the film. So if anyone has an extra million 5-10 pounds, please feel free to sponsor us. It is going to be a great short film, I know. All in all, it is our last film within the university setting....

Well, I am back here at the begining of my summer holiday. So what's in store for me...

First of all, just received the  new Scorpions album and it's their best in years. Can't stop playing it. So looking forward to seeing them in July!
Secondly, I have decided on my tattoo design and going to check out the tattoo place on Friday, see if I like it. I read good reviews about it. 
Will be having my work practice June and July and occasionally working in Park Lane - that's the plan. Hopefully will get to do something interesting.
Apparently Ozzy Osbourne ripped the Saku Suurhall in Tallinn on Monday, oh yeah. That man will outlive all of us, mark my words. ALL ABOARD, hahaha!
Finally watched the 3rd Pirates and it's great, not as great as the other two, but still pretty friggin' good! Love Geoffrey Rush in it...And my praise for Johnny Depp is unnecessary - everyone's in love with that man, even men!
What else... Our Crit was a disaster.. Both films that we made were heavily criticised. Fab! We spent 4 months working our butts off on those films and the reason they turned out they way they did because we took too many suggestions from the lecturers. Most of the things they said were bullshit.
On a better note, it's less than three weeks till I am going to rock my heart out at the Aerosmith gig in Hyde Park, can't believe it, still can't! I am so going to go wild. A nice company of friends will join me so it's bound to be good. 
To wrap things up, here's a pic from the set of Glass of Milk - me being Assistant Director and  looking slightly stressed..yet. ha. Scratching my head to find the answer and Luane - the super Director!
...and our two actresses Karen and Carrigan on the set. Carrigan - our child star - was a legend!

 



Oh just watched Sahara wit Matthew McConahey... He is quite corgeous I gotta say. I never bothered to watch this film in a cinema because it looked like another blockbuster crap but t reason I watched it because Chris Newman was the Assistant Director on it - I mentioned him before about the lecture he did at the university regardint First AD-ing. The film's actually quite good - action packed, grabs the attention and surprisingly humorous... Who would have thought.

have been feeling ill for a few weeks now, can;'t figure out whether it is cold of allery, like hayfever or something...
