For those passing by in London or interested in consciousness, magic, take the time to look into an annual festival: http://equinoxfestival.org/ The Mindscape of Alan Moore is playing on Sunday. I’m not in London yet, trying to make a connecting flight and too many things going on, so will be gutted to miss out on what […]
Been a week since I left Suriname, always takes me a few days to get used to the clinically organised landscape of The Netherlands. Miss the Paramaribo chaos and vibrancy, stray dogs with tails pointing up, now in this Lego land I see most dogs with tails between their legs. Back in Prozac territory it […]
Left Paramaribo early Wednesday night and landed in Amsterdam early Thursday morning. Fast times, editing till midnight on Tuesday. Very productive few weeks and inspiring to see many entrepreneurs, artists and filmmakers in Suriname doing their thing up to very high standards. This despite the incredible brain drain the country has experienced since the early […]
Still in Suriname. Customs strikes in the port, heavy rains, too many factors causing delay in the shoot of the corporate films. Catching up in editing now.Also doing a lot of research for the fiction I’m writing. Had a good meeting with the head of the A-Team (Arrest team), a special police force, equivalent to […]
Strange shift of time zones. Last week was still rushing to get business finished in London with several projects in development (one of them a zombie psych horror, script was given to me a while back) with sunny weather for nearly two weeks straight. Then off to Amsterdam, on and off rainy with sunshine, blazing […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m not a punctual blogger. That’s because I still prefer to write fiction in the little time I have left and most of my life is nomadic in nature. Pretty much like a ronin, a sword for hire, so am in the middle of too many […]
Another week, another pound. More crisis in the news, as if nothing good is also happening. The snowfall made most of the UK ground to a halt, but really shows the incompetence of those in charge of the infrastructure. Not even salt on stairs or sidewalks when it started to melt. I guess that tax […]
The Chinese new year of the Ox officially started Monday 26 January. New moon, new year and a new president of the US and A. Apparently Obama is also an Ox, who are apparently strong headed and determined to toil towards their goal over a long stretch time. This year they say is the harvest, […]
Unbelievable, already a week into the new year. The firework explosions and foggy mists afterwards seem so far now. Still in Amsterdam working on the short fiction stories and the screenplay for the Caribbean thriller. Meanwhile I’ve been commissioned to get involved in a number of interesting projects, most of them in London. This weblog […]
Then in between the creative writing and the Kafka paperwork this week, finally got a chance to see Gomorra with a friend/film colleague. I thought it was gripping and tense, but it wasn’t the absolute master piece everybody had been raving about. My friend David was less convinced and made the point that it wasn’t […]
