  Dear All, After some absence, welcome to our latest newsletter. We hope you enjoy hearing all our current news. Moth In the last couple of months we have been looking into the possibility of producing another short film whilst we continue to develop our feature projects. We were delighted to find an excellent script called "Moth", which was written by Clifton Stewart (who's been writing “An Ordinary God” for us). "Moth" is a poignant story about a 7 year old boy who develops an obsession with moths in order to escape from his unhappy life. Once again, we have picked a very ambitious project with many challenges; including several complex special effects and finding a talented 7 year old to play the main role. However we are optimistic and hope that "Moth" will be a worthy follow-up to "Ghosthunter". We are aiming to produce "Moth" early next year and are currently raising finance. For the latest updates on how the project is progressing click here. Feature Progress Development continues on our various feature films. Writer Richard Ahsam has just finished the first draft of our British comedy “Thatcher’s Daughter” and research is uncovering more and more fascinating facts about the life of "Dr. William H. Bates". We hope to attach a writer to this project soon. “Ghosthunter” Seminars We will be screening “Ghosthunter” and talking about the making of it at the Westcliff Film and Video Club on October 21st. We have also been asked to participate in a screening and talk for Rocliffe, a London Writers Forum (date TBA). L.A. Trip We had an excellent trip to Los Angeles in April. We met many people out there including the producer of "Fight Club" and the writer of "Waterworld" and got a real taste of how Hollywood works. We look forward to returning there in the not too distant future. Website Music & Online Shop We've just updated our website and we have now added some original music to the site. The music covers the intro and was composed by leading composer Stephen Keeling. Stephen has written many musicals for the West End, including "La Cava" and "Maddie". Also remember that you can order our book "How to Make Great Short Feature Films - The Making Of Ghosthunter" and many of our favourite books, DVDs and software directly from our website link to amazon.co.uk.
