Amazing news! My amazingly talented, writer boyfriend David Scullion has had one of his short film scripts chosen to be made into episode 8 of Bloody Cuts' 13 episode short film anthology.
If you don't know who / what Bloody Cuts are, then shame on you but you can check them out here
Now the only problem is that they now need to raise £2,500 to fund the filming of "Don't Move" (Episode 8 - Dave's script) and so they have set up a Kickstarter campaign in order to do this.
I have already pledged and in return will receive some of Neill Gorton's DVD sets which show you how to make silicone prosthetics (I have quite a few books on this but I find it so much easier being able to see how something is done step by step) which I am really excited to receive.
I was lucky enough to go to Bloody Cuts' Christmas Party a couple of weeks ago and I have to say they are all genuine and lovely people who really deserve the success they have acheived.
So if you can spare a bit of your hard earned dosh (even as little as a £1) please help these awesome people raise the cash to make episode 8 and to go that one step further! Just click here

Bunker 51
This time last week I participated in another two zombie events at Bunker 51.
After a week of a stinking cold I have to admit that I wasn't feeling my best and was quite worried about how I would cope with 6ish hours of being shot at.
Luckily all went ok aside from a few particularly painful hits from paintballs and airsoft pellets which resulted in me wearing two padded suits for the second event - I admit it, I'm a wuss!
I really enjoy being part of Bunker 51 and look forward to seeing what the future holds and how it can develop - I spoke to my friend Alexys* who organises most of the zombie part of the events at Bunker about a few ideas I have and am hoping we can work together to make the make-up effects even better than they are now (not that they're not good already - Just read the review MSN gave us)
The best part of Bunker is that I am starting to have a lot more confidence in myself and my abilities (even though I know I can always improve) and with that comes the confidence and belief in me from other people - which I find amazing, especially from people that I greatly respect (such as Alexys) as people and fellow make-up artists.
The next event is in 2013 (that in itself sounds terrifying) and I can't wait to get into it again and hopefully start planning some brilliant make-ups.
* Alexys is an SFX make-up artist who has worked on the Harry Potter films, who I met while working at the London Bridge Experience & Tombs in 2009.
