While I'm conveniently at the end of the table, it's time for a photo with my friends from the British Film Commission. On my right (left in the photo), is luv'ly Central England Screen Commissioner Cathie Peloe, (who, with GRUMPUSS under her belt, will now be working diligently to assure that MORNINGSTONE eventually films in Central England), and on her right (far left), is her friend David Robey, manager of local BBC Radio Station WM (unprecedented winner of SONY Awards for two consecutive years). On my left is Elizabeth Kaniewska, who speaks Polish, English, French, Welsh and holds a degree in Media and Business Management), and beyond her, my old friend, Hugh Edwin Jones, Film Commissioner for North Wales (who helped bring such major period productions as FIRST KNIGHT, with Richard Gere, Sean Connery and Julia Ormond, PRINCE VALIANT, with Joanna Lumley and Edward Fox and MERLIN, with Sam Neill, Rutger Hauer, Martin Short, Helena Bonham Carter and Isobella Rossellini, to North Wales. And with the ladies wearing heels, everyone's taller than me! |
