Feel Good Friday

Who were we before?



What have we done before?



Does it really matter?



I'm a firm believer in second chances. We will all make mistakes during our lifetime. We're human after all. And like I've said before in a previous feel good by Steve Jobs time is too short so don't waste it.



A few weeks back I heard this quote and I thought it was absolutely brilliant.







'The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there'

Showreel help

Hello! So as an actor you need a showreel of course. Mine is terrible, and all year have been trying to get short films together and get clips from various things but to no avail. People I find seem to be so unreliable! Because of this I feel I have to go to a company in London or somewhere and pay around £800 to make a showreel from scratch. So I guess I'm making this post as a last ditch effort in the hopes that someone can help  me before I fork out so much money that I haven't…
