Hello Guys
I came across about this idea and hope you like it..
I was watching a doc on TV the other day and there was this patient called Roger Jackson who went to the emergency hospital because of chest pain. he start talking about him self to the doctor. He was born in 1938. he was diagnosed with cancer but got rude of it after several years of sufferings. he used to play a keyboard in a band called the "Tornadoes" in the 60s'. he is scared of dying and he is so passionate about life and wants to do more and more... atm he is living with his 8th wife. and he is still working as a solo artist. I find this person really interesting and i think it wouldn't be that hard to get hold of him. i mean for interviews and if we want to have a good understanding of his life in general particularly about his wives...

Hey guys. Sorry have had no contact, only just been able to go on to the blog, plus have had a busy summer in Los Angeles. I do not think i will be back in farnham until Uni starts in mid september but will be in London if anyone wants to meet up there or could arrange to come to farnham for a day- would definetly be good to have a meeting before Uni starts. it's great that everyone is generating ideas. When I am back in London (wednesday) I will start posting some of mine.
Hope you have all had a great summer. I look forward to working with you all.

Berlin Wall Sickness
See what you guys think of this, after the Berlin wall was taken down people still had feelings of strong anxiety of being confined after living so close to the wall.

Coming back to Farnham
I cant seem to be able to comment so I'll just have to write a new post. I will be returning to Farnahm the first week of September, and as early in the week as possible but I don't know what day yet. It would be good to know when all of you will be around so if you could just drop a comment like Kostas that would be great.
See you all soon, enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Robot Wine Tasters
Hello, hope everyones hoildays are going good, and all looting done has been lawful.
This is an idea that ive been thinking about. Orginally from a small article in the telegraph about wine tasters. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/spain/8677291/Scientists-in-Spain-develop-electronic-tongue-to-rival-sommeliers-in-cava-tasting.html I thought this quite a funny little story- it could be set in england, 'Denbies' is a wine making place relativly near where we could set a few scenes. http://www.denbies.co.uk/
My initial notes were- Wine tasters replaced by robots- sad dispondent experts who drink heavily the wine that they have stolen from the factory but relise the wine their having is awful
Looking at this it seems a bit dumb and simple but what do you think?

The mystery of the Piano Man
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4550069.stm
This is an article about the Piano Man, a person who is suffering from an amnesia. He was found wandering around Kent in a wet suit and tie. Later they found out that he is a hell of a pianist but his origin is a mystery since he doesn't talk. The article came out in 2005, so there might be a chance that someone has made a movie about this already, but still this might be worth checking out.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2015511/Council-rubbish-inspector-refused-allow-bins-emptied-122-homes-sacked.html
I found this little story which I thought could be interesting. I feel that the characterisation could be very dark, as in overly enforcing the rules, like chucking people into bins etc... See what you think.

Hiya!
I found an interesting article about a Iraq war veteran whose life went downhill after he and his team accidentally killed a family in Iraq. After that he has had mental problems (seeing dead kids!), he became broke when the army apparently cut off his war pension and he even went to jail in some point. According to him the army failed to help him to get treatment for his mental problems. A lot of dark and heavy stuff. I thought the idea would be interesting since there isn't too many films concentrating fully on the problems war veterans face when they come back, plus it's a really contemporary theme with all the wars going on out there. Also a lot has happened to this war veteran, so it would be an interesting challenge for the director and the screenwriter to find a proper approach to the topic. A link to the article is below:

hitler oh hitler
i found this idea very fun
and very free to develop whatever we want
based on the true fact
:)
Erotic doll that should have been included among the necessary things for the soldiers, would help avoid sexually transmitted diseases among soldiers and helped to preserve the purity of Aryan race.

It turns out in 1941, Adolf Hitler asked Dr. Olena Danish Hanussena a prototype doll of galvanized metal, plastic, which was later planned to make in Dresden.
This sex toy was meant for German soldiers, so they can satisfy their sexual needs.
The Fuhrer gave specific instructions about how must have looked like "Rubber Girl": to be a life-size, growth 1,76 m and depict a beautiful woman with very white skin, blond hair and soft blue eyes, big lips and breasts, bending his arms and an open umbilicus.
Erotic doll that should have been included among the necessary things for the soldiers, would help avoid sexually transmitted diseases among soldiers and helped to preserve the purity of Aryan race.Responsible for the project was Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS. However, the factory, which would have made these dolls, was destroyed by Allied bombs that brought an end to Hitler's plan.

Hoi from Finlandio
Hewo hewoo!! I hope everyone goooood and enjoying holidays. I've heard the weather in England hasnt been great. It's beauuuuuutiful in Finland though. SUCKERSSSS =D haha
I don't know if you have heard about the "sex scandal" which involves the former IMF chief Strauss-Kahn who apparently wants ( or wanted) to run for president in France I think and a hotel cleaner from a small town in west africa? was it? I cant remember now ( i'm at work but i've got the article at home.) But I just thought it was weird and funny how they started writing about the hotel maid and telling her sad story of moving away from Africa and then getting a good job and then something horrible like a rape attempt happens.
But then couple weeks afterwards, the news wrote that the charges might be dropped against Dominique Strauss-Kahn because the woman has some sort of a criminal backrgound and authorities think she's lying about the man trying to rape her.
But then a little bit after this another french woman accuses the same man of raping (or trying) her. And I'm still waiting for information on what's actually happening next.
Maybe this idea is more for a longer film. It kind of sounds like almost a cliché feature film where you know before seeing the film what's gonna happen but not sure HOW. And I'm sorry if I made this seem more complicated than it really is =P.

Hey guys,
Hope your having a good summer so far. Just been looking at some of the first ideas cropping up. I am thinking that something a bit strange, weird or even shocking is a good path. The most interesting stories to me where the ones such as the squatters or the chinese boy where it was a strange occurence that gives us the opportunity to look into the minds of those individuals, what drives them to do what they do, as well as the social, cultural and political themes as well (I mean how does a boy decide that selling an organ for a computer is a good idea!). I think that would be a interesting focus for the film. It also seems that we are interested in a bit of comedy here? With these kinda subjects, comedy is essential!

17 Dead bodies found in a Medieval well
Ah, now this looks intresting. Apparently at some point during the 12th centuray a bunce of people were executed by maybe being forced to jump down a well, leaving a massive pile for us to find. But it is shrouded in mystery, apparently they were persecuted because they were jewish but could there have been another reason? A nice bit of loopy medieval logic here.

Squatters Idea
Hey people, I've thought of a fact that could be fictionized. In the news papers a lot this year i've noticed much jibbbing and whinning about squatters who've taken up habits of squatting in rich people's houses and VERY large fancy flats owned by celebrities (one of the poor celebrity victims was Guy Richie). One of these sqautter groups converted these buildings into a free school for hippies and most likely crazy weed smokers. One of the more recent ones that are quite amusing is this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12694054
Narratively, I was thinking we could turn this into a story from the same seed as Badlands or The Idiots. About a bunch of disalusioned dreamer kids who hold up in a celebrities house and hold it hostage, while they live in this almost alien expensive house they start to live a dilusion where they are rich and famous, almost in a halucinatory fasion.
