Well the downtime over the winter wasn’t as productive as I’d hoped with regards to my little projects. What with multiple HDD failures etc. Real life obviously takes precedence. But the good news is, for those of you waiting to see … Continue reading

One of the great things about creating these filmumentaries is making contact with the very people that starred in the films or helped to put them on film as a member of the crew. I’ve been fortunate enough to be in contact with the likes of Carl Gottlieb, Robert Watts, Wolf Kahler and Howard Kazanjian to name a few. What I love is being able to have an ongoing relationship with these people, even if it is only via email.
This week I was thrilled to hear back from Colonel Dietrich himself, Wolf Kahler in a warm message of new year wishes. He went on to tell me that he’s recently worked on a film (I won’t give it away just yet), using his wonderful voice doing lots of ADR for multiple characters. It’s a film I’ve been waiting to see for some time and actually has a connection to another part of my life. Now of course I am looking forward to it even more.
