Here it is. Here is that new thing I’ve been teasing for the last couple of weeks.
One of my short stories from To Slow Down the Time is being adapted into a short film. I couldn’t be more excited, and I couldn’t have asked for a cooler person to collaborate with on the project. Chris New, an actor some of you may know from last year’s award-winning film Weekend, has written an adapted screenplay and plans to direct “Ticking” this July in London. He’s also pulling together a crazy-talented team of UK film industry folks to help ensure we do it right.
Today, we’ve launched a campaign to raise a bit of money to properly fund our movie. For all the details on that, PLEASE visit our Kickstarter page. We’ve made a silly pledge video and written out our hopes and dreams for a successful project. We’d love your help. No amount is too small, and every dollar will count and go toward making a high-quality film. Plus, we’re offering loads of stuff in return to those that are able to participate.
Reblogs and tweets are very much appreciated and I will certainly keep you all posted. As always, THANKS SO MUCH for supporting my creativity. I’m grateful every day to be allowed these opportunities, and I know that this is due, in large part, to all of your continued support. XOXO
We’re already over 50% towards our goal. Thank you all for your support, we’re so thrilled that you want to be involved.
Here’s what I’m doing next…
Please spread the word, we’d love this to be a success!

Dear friends in the USA,
Finally, I’m able to impart to you the exciting news - Weekend will be released this August on DVD and BLU-RAY, taking pride of place in the Criterion Collection!
The set will include exclusive interviews made especially for the release, behind the scenes footage and even the audition tapes of Tom and I (I can’t remember being asked if I liked that idea).
The whole of the Weekend team hope you’ll love it.

What should we do about the Core Issue Trust’s ex gay ads on the buses? Complain to the ASA? Perhaps have them banned? They are obviously a pretty cheap (and badly phrased) parody of Stonewall’s recent campaign; some might say a deliberate homophobic attack on our hard-earned peace and quiet.
I believe the one thing we should NOT do is ban them. I’m almost tempted to advise anyone reading this to phone up the trust and offer money to pay for more adverts.
The Trust have paid to announce their beliefs. I’m thankful that they have taken the trouble.
We now have the chance to compare our belief’s to theirs. Do we agree with them? Do our friends agree with them? Ask them…when you meet your friends and family for lunch or dinner raise the subject and ask them - do you agree? Do you believe in this? If they do then it’s time to change their minds.
If we silence the adverts then we lose the opportunity to have the conversation. We silence ourselves.
