Well I’ve been away for a little while – so what better way to get this Blog up and running again than to shamelessly steal from a former colleague… Thanks to Tom Malcolm, the legend at Diffusion, for spotting this response source from Jeff at Loaded magazine. We salute you, sir!

QUERY: This is a tricky response source to write.
I hope someone can help me out. Sometime between September and October 2008 I visited the film set of the latest British horror flick, ‘Doghouse’. It stars Danny Dyer, which is where the problems started, and also Stephen Graham.
It was my job to go on set and interview the stars and get some photos taken with the blood and guts and stuff. Which I did, but like most of the cast, I’d had a pretty big night the evening before and they werent really up for talking. In fact one actor took my photo using his iPhone and threatened to kill me if I wrote him up badly.
Then I got in trouble for nicking a script, which was just laying around and I thought it was free for all to take. They were worried I’d know the secret ending of the film and blow the plot…how wrong they were, because I cannot remember a fucking thing from after the set bar opened at 11am selling Guiness for a pound a pint.
The film was in Surrey somewhere, I think, I was picked up in a minibus. I remember the PR bringing a cardboard box full of lager. I remember the film seemed REALLY GOOD and the trailer made it look amazing. I have a dictaphone full of interviews, some of them cohesive. I think this will make an excellent feature in Loaded.
I’ve rung the production company, Carnaby International, who claim they dont have a press dept, and Sony, who Carnaby say are releasing the film (Sony havent heard of it).
I’m almost certain this whole episode wasnt all in my imagination, but as I said…I had endured a VERY big night.
If anyone was on set with me, or if this sounds at all familiar, drop me a line,
XXXX
ps. I have recently given up booze.
