THE SLEEPING HABITS OF ISABELLA.

Whether it's in the car seat.

On a rug in the park.

Or on Mummy's chest.  Ahhhh.

SHOOTING THE RESERVES.

So I wrote "The Reserves" - a comedy about an English backpacker 

who comes to Sydney and joins a football team - well over a  year ago.

It's been changed and re-written, Edited and re-written, re-written 

& re-written& re-written.

And  Claire is just bored. Hahahahaha. So she said why don't you 

just make it? No one will buy it off the pages. Just make it. 

So I did. With help from Alex Hay, Leigh Richards and of course 

my lovely (and amazingly supportive) wife - we got the cast and

 crew together to shoot a 7 minute trailer.

This is what happened.

The board. Gulp.

Leigh and I going through the script.

Setting out the kit.

Which bit is it again.

First positions.

Paul ready for Gumbo.

Lining up the shot.

Is it working?

Christiaan going through his lines.

Over the shoulder(s).

Ammie looking cool as Gina.

The ball that causes the trouble.

Me, Riley and Alex - top shirt.

Whoever hit that.....

The crowds gather. (Including Claire & Isabella).

Jamie's still on the floor.

The lads line up.

And the ball comes in. Bosh.

And now off to the youth hostel.

Just when Isabella turns up to take a peak.

Leigh and I waiting for another shot.

And after it all. A beaten up Jamie ("Luke").

Christiaan ("Damo') escaped.

Paul as "Gumbo"

And Kelv is still playing "Tommy" and on his bloody phone. 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Aaaahhhh they lovely.

DONNA THE DO GOODER.

A lttle film I shot with JB - Greta and Christiaan at their best.

It's about an over enthusiastic employee who is obsessed with giving to charity.

She just loves it.

OK IT'S A BIG DAY.

We're off to Manly for a recce for Ben's Comedy: The Reserves.

Isabella is getting ready.

And she's out.

She then makes some friends.

Ahh Alex loves her.

Didn't she do well. Night night.

GRANDPA AND GRANDMA'S BIRTHDAY.

She's very advanced.

BREAKFAST WITH DAVE AND CHLOE

Off to Brave again, this time to see Chloe and Dave.

Ahhhhh clucky are we David?

ISABELLA'S FIRST TRIP TO DANGAR ISLAND.

Off we go on the ferry across.

A smiley Wilko leads the way.

Where's Isabella. 

Such a peaceful place.

Theres she is. Love the hat.

ISABELLA LOVES THE COLOURS.

Honestly she is very impressed.

And after a quick costume change (her nappy exploding) she's asleep. At last.

LET'S TALK FEET.

Isabella's little ones to be precise. It took forever to get her feet to be still.

But we finally got there.

So, thank you very much Aunty Nadine it's a present we hope she'll keep forever.
