My pals Gabriel Strange and Lydia Wood are doing a film studies course in Cardiff. They are putting together their final year project and the moment, and in film studies such things are serious business requiring fund raising and potentially catapulting the director to stardom. (The Wallace & Gromit film, A Grand Day Out, was Nick Park’s graduation project.) As part of the project Gabe and Lydia are looking for some fiction writers to do some viral marketing for the film. He’s looking for 4-5 people to each write a blog post a week for 4 months. Each blogger will take on the character of one people in the film. There’s no money for this, but if could be fun and if the film does well you get to share in the glory. The catch is that they really want local people who can meet up, but I think I know a few budding fiction writers in Bristol…

Anyone interested should write to Gabe & Lydia at casimirfilm [at] googlemail.com. The film’s web site is here.
