Information

I just recieved an e-mail. It happens sometimes when you use this internet thing, or so I hear. To cut a long story short, we're on the Red Dwarf DVD. Not as winners, but as runners up in a montage shot. Sorry for the lack of drama in that revelation, but I decided just to come out and say it. Apparently Doug Naylor himself picked some of our shots, which is pretty cool (that being one of the two guys who made Red Dwarf). I have no idea which ones, probably only be a few seconds of us, but that's a few seconds of us the whole country will be seeing. Hm. Is that good or bad? I don't know! Either way, we didn't win, but we are runners up, which is pretty cool. Here's the e-mail:

Dear Leigh,

Re: RED DWARF FAN FILM COMPETITION

Congratulations! We’re delighted to tell you that your Fan Film The Death of Ace Rimmer has been selected as a Runner Up in the Red Dwarf Fan Film competition and you will shortly be receiving your runners up certificate! We received lots of excellent and very varied submissions and the judging was tough. Doug has selected some clips of your film for inclusion in a montage of clips from a selection of the more interesting runners-up which will be included on the Series VII DVD due for release in November this year. Many thanks for entering the competition.

Best wishes

Helen Norman

Pretty cool huh? Good start for me at least, since I'm heading for Reading to do Film and Theatre, coming as a runner up in a film competition. Now we just need to wait for that DVD to come out...
