And it hasn’t ended yet!<\/p>\n
Sorry, I haven’t been able to do much here or on my website<\/a> over the past week, but things have been hectic, thwart and generally appalling. Work is keeping me totally pre-occupied — with suddenly imposed deadlines and an impossible amount of material to find and coordinate for the RQF. If you know what that is, you’ll understand; if you don’t, believe me, you don’t want to know.<\/p>\n But on top of that I’ve been working on the edit of Daikaiju! 3: Giant Monsters vs the World<\/i>, the CRC of which has to be at the printers next week to make sure we have copies for Conflux<\/a>. Parts of it are running very<\/i> late and I’m being forced to ask for a lot of goodwill from contributors — goodwill which they’ve been willing to give… so far.<\/p>\n At the same time, I’m coordinating a mini-film festival for Conflux, and for various bureaucratic reasons, I suddenly need to do a whole lot of paperwork for the Australian Film and TV Classification Board so that we’ll be allowed to show the films, as non-controversial as they may be. I’ll post about the program later. There’s some excellent work, including a couple of zombie films, a new Australian ghost flick and much else besides!<\/p>\n To make matters worse, there’s been some bad news, health-wise, regarding a friend. <\/p>\n Anyway, bear with me and I’ll soon have good news (hopefully) about Daikaiju! 3<\/i> and lots of great info about the Conflux film festival — including reviews and interviews with assorted filmmakers. Meanwhile, if you haven’t seen it already, here’s an interview<\/a> I did a few weeks ago with the producer\/writer of a new SF film, First World<\/i>, which will be screened at the convention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" And it hasn’t ended yet!
