Just seen the trailer for HOW TO SURVIVE THE WILD. Excitement levels rising!
The multi-award-winning time travel short, LAURA LIVING BACKWARDS, finishes its very successful festival run and will premiere on YouTube at 8pm GMT on 15/3/26. Produced and directed by Kate Horlor and written by myself and Kate, LAURA is time travel with a difference. youtu.be/Oagv4Vt8zQg?...
Finished another new screenplay today (bar some final tweaks). This one written with filmmaker David Bryant. Last script for a while now as I’ve returned to a new novel. A DEAD LEAVES sequel.
A great evening at the Spark Filmmakers Showcase. Thank you to Johnathan and all involved in making it happen. Was great to see BABY ON BOARD and LAURA LIVING BACKWARDS on a big screen one final time. Hopefully this will be the first many showcases for filmmakers in the region.
BABY ON BOARD and LAURA LIVING BACKWARDS screen this Monday at the Royal Spa Centre in Leamington Spa. Come along, if you’re local… www.warwickdc.gov.uk/info/20356/a...
Something for the season… andrewdavidbarker.substack.com/p/the-winter...
She looked to the vastness of the cosmos. In all that space, she thought, how could there be something on my stairs? She laughed at this, then turned back to the house and all the humour left her… NEW POST NEW POST! Let’s talk ghost stories…. andrewdavidbarker.substack.com/p/society-pl...
And then my first attempt at documentary filmmaking received this. Been a pretty good week.
Had a great chat with @evildeaditalia, where I talked DEAD LEAVES (obvs), THE EVIL DEAD, Sam Raimi, Scott Spiegel, THE HOUSE ON LIDDERMAN STREET, AI, working class novels, the Video Age, and other such stuff. Check it out- www.youtube.com/live/Zi78Vec...
On Tuesday (17:30 UK time) I’ll be talking my novel DEAD LEAVES, Sam Raimi, life during the Video Age, THE EVIL DEAD, and whatever else comes up. Be there or be one of the dismembered dead. Youtube: www.youtube.com/live/Zi78Vec... Facebook Event: www.facebook.com/events/13009...
The first one hasn’t even been shot yet- Hell, it’s still being cast- but reaction to the screenplay has led to talks about a possible sequel already. Gotta say, I love this title, and this poster. Just hope everyone likes this right load of Bastards as much as we do.
