So with a whole bundle of ado Producer, KATE TALBOT, Post-Production Producer, KATERINA MITROPOULOS, official IT Advisor, JORDI BENEYTO FERRE & Director, DAVID HAWKINS slaved away to put on the do-of-the-century to say thank you to our wonderful supporters.
To prove how thankful she was Kate cooked for 4 days straight, whipping up a gastronomical wonder of hors d'oeuvres (they don't make death row prisoners work this hard!):
Then it was off to the spectacular Willow Bar (222 High Street, Northcote VIC / 03 9481 1222) to put on a right hoorah. Drinks, delectable food, groovy lounge tunes and more hugs than a man could ask for. Surrounded by all of the amazing people who made our crazy venture into a reality; cast, extras, crew, locations and partners of crazed volunteers! Without these philanthropic folk our story could never have been realised.
But of course, what would a wrap party be without speeches that never end?:
Thank you to everyone who was involved in this larger-than-life-and-sanity production!
50 cast, 100 extras, a rotating crew of almost 50 and more locations than I can count (ran out of fingers and toes). For a little independent film, it sure is BIG! Kate and I want to echo once again how grateful we are to all of the support and assistance that has been offered in so many different ways. Every single person involved added something very special to create an overall amazing feat of filmmaking.
After 4 & 1/2 months of filming there are 3 very special thank yous:
Katerina Mitropoulos. She is still working like crazy to make sure that Bound By Blue will be finished and ready for the world to see.
Kate Talbot, Producer extraordinaire! Still smiling after all I put her through (and still producing this film like a mad woman).
And my spectacular wife Marianna Hawkins who is to blame for this whole fiasco in the first place, and has supported my utter insanity every single day. This could never have been achieved without her.
