So, it's almost March, but it stills feels like the start of 2015. I thought it might be good to have a thread about what we plan to achieve, and what we're hoping to achieve, over the next 12 months.
So, for me, I think my main project is going to be the documentary I've been working on now for 18 months and have made little progress with. I'm not going to dive into a narrative project unless I come up with (or the Angels deliver me) a really great script. So I want to focus on making a professional-quality, artistically and intellectually satisfying documentary.
I'm not sure whether there will be more episodes of my web-series, The Magic Circle. I'd like to shoot some more, but don't really have the money to do so, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to round the whole cast up again, even for a day. Only a few have stayed in touch and they seem quite busy. So that'll also go on the back-burner, unless it catches fire online and we become superstars.
Speaking on a non-practical level, the thing I'd like most in 2015 is to create a piece of work that I'm really satisfied with, where I'm happy with my own contribution. The Magic Circle was really the first project I've done where I felt that I'd got it right, and the feedback was great (in comparison with feedback on other projects which was often polite or muted or flattery rather than honesty). So I want to make something which is up to the standards that I would set my self.
How about you??
