BELLADONNA NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Ohh yes some what embarrassing!!! How long has it been? where is part 3 you may ask?

Well we have been literally around the world in the last month. We had a wonderful screening of BELLADONNA in Krakow which is a stunning city where 18th Century architecture and 21st Century life meet with total grace, I don't mean to sound like a travel agent but it's so worth visiting.
So much has happened that hard to know where to start.

Firstly it was really amazing to sit amongst an audience watching the movie. Previously we had 6 test screenings of the film but somehow this was different. It is a fine line between absolute ecstasy and total pain. I read somewhere when G. Lucas first screened Star Wars he was so nervous that he spent his time in the bathroom vomiting. It really is a heightened experience. All that time effort and great among of work converge into this moment. After the screening we had a question and answer session which was great then a couple of TV interviews one for Canal + a french TV station and the other for a Polish TV station. There was lots of wonderful conversations with friends, family, industry people and the Polish actors.
After Krakow we travelled to Warsaw where we orgenised a photo shoot with Kasia Mazurek for the poster.
During ourprevious post production time in Warsaw we took some photos which have a lovely 'light feel' as an alternative we decided to take thesame sort of photo, this time in Autumn.
The image is only half the poster as we plan to shoot the other half in Australia soon. I'll post the photos soon.

and yes part 3 is coming up!!
