Yes we look delighted, baffled and discombobulated. See I wasn't lying!
Things have been so crazy that I didn't get a chance to blog after the glorious chorus sang on Saturday night, so let me take you back briefly...
THE SCREENING
Then on Saturday night, our little film headlined the screening, and this stunning choir elevated the flick to a whole new level! It was quite simply breathtaking to see this group of (former) strangers sing their hearts out for us, and a room of hardened film makers so supportive and touched. A. MAY. ZING.
Our amazing chorus!! They're members of the Silver Lake Chorus, but this was an unofficial gig, they took time out to come and sing for us, JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT! Legends!! |
We saw SO MANY awe inspiring films this week, it was an absolute flipping treat! The standard was extremely high! So genuinely the very last thing were were expecting was to win! So much so that we were filming the announcement of our category in order to flip the camera round on ourselves when whoever won and do the old classic ungracious loser swearing nonsense. So I did nearly drop Lee's camera when they said With or Without U2!
We were so delighted, baffled and discombobulated that we forgot to say a speech or use a single one of our noises. So... we would like to say:
A MAHOOSIVE thank you & well done to our cast and crew who worked like demons for love and cake but no coin whatsoever - Tom Price, Mark Martin, Nicola Lince, Tabitha Beckmann, Darren Vale, Robert Shiret, Carli Vallance, Chris Lince, The Mill, Mick Dow, Eirlys Bellin, Nana Amoo-Gottfried, Diane Easterbrook & Kes the Dog
A GARGANTUAN thank you to Mark Roberts the incredible arranger & composer who created the entire gorgeous sound for the chorus in LA from Sheffield, and who we've still yet to meet!
Lea Endres has been the organiser, the angel, the girl on the inside... oh and she sings like an angel too! I think I owe her my first born child at the very least. |
Peace out, I'm off to spoon with the trophy. HAVE A KISS X.
The End... or is it?......!! [watchthisspace]
