Q&A with the Director of Running in Traffic

GMAC hosted an evening this week as part of the TRONGATE 103 1st THURSDAY Programme celebrating the DVD launch of this independent Scottish feature. Unfortunately DOP George Geddes was unable to attend at the last minute as his shoot on a commercial that day ran over, so it was left to Director Dale Corlett to hold the fort, talking to the large audience about how he and George went about creating the look and feel of this award winning film. Hosted by independent film producer Shian Holt, the evening involved a screening of a small selection of scenes from the film and a discussion around the overall cinematography and style. With such a large turnout for this free event, GMAC are hopeful this will translate into more DVD sales for a film the organization has helped support from its inception. Thanks to all who attended.  Watch this space for more events related to the release of this independent feature film.

DIRECTOR IN NZ

Following a very successful trip to Los Angeles Director Dale Corlett is now visiting New Zealand for a series of meetings regarding his project, Anarchy in Aotearoa.

This film has been a labour of love for Dale over a number of years having originally developed the idea for the film while he was training at Te Kura Toi Whakaari / The NZ Drama School.

Inspired by real life events in the early 1980s, this film will see Dale returning to his native NZ to shoot it once the final preparations and finance are in place.

DIRECTOR IN LOS ANGELES

A ROAD TRIP AROUND THE WORLD

Following his whirlwind road trip Dale will return to the UK (with a fairly hefty amount of air mile points I dare say) to complete work on Jigsaw's latest short film, Shadow, written and directed by Suzanne Adamson.
