Another week – yet another Shivering Geoff for ya!

The silly season is over. Memories of yesteryear.

Zeitgeisters,

Edwin and I are planning the New Year. He’s a big fan of using Freemind mind-mapping software to create a picture of his future. He’s visual (being a director) and it makes perfect sense for those who are. I’m basically Luddite (being a writer) and I like to see things written down on a piece of paper.

Somehow we’ll bring it altogether as we assemble 2009 for Geoffrey.com.au. Expect to see more Shivering Geoff, Shivering Geoff -Series 2 and some new features: The Lawnmower Diaries, Donna’s Lovely Feet, and more on-line marketing for our on-line feature, Women of Various Ages.

Keep your eye out for the new stuff. Above is a word from our new sponsor.

Cheers, Mr Trivia

It’s funny to think that more people have seen my short films here on YouTube than have ever seen any at a cinema. 8 more episodes (this season) to go. Don’t forget to click on our sponsors to keep us afloat >>>>

Another week – another Shivering Geoff. He’s a fun guy.

Indy Nile is indeed “in denial”. If it weren’t for his lovable pooch Trusty and his over-sized caged budgie, he’d be all alone in his miserable world. His wife maureen left him years ago and it’s not hard to figure out why. (more…)

Filmed in the heady 80s, when I was still in my teens, Bertolt was shot mostly in Freo (that’s Fremantle, Western Australia for our international film buddies).
(more…)

I just uploaded Bertolt. More people will seeing it via YouTube than will ever see it in cinemas. It’s been up there for 5 hours and so far 5 people have seen it. I’m posting it here because I’d like your comments and feedback. Good and bad. So, please – don’t be shy.

Some great Open Source software has just been released for screenwriters, poets and novelists. It’s called CELTX and seems to have mroe functionality than the much more expensive, Final Draft. Despite the focus on “creative contribution” (writers can upload a piece of writing, insert images, work with other writers and get feedback) it has a Hollywood standard, easy-to-use fully functioning FREE screenplay formatting software. I’ve been pulling my hair out with Word for the last two weeks. Download it writers!
