#MondayMusings – Back From South Africa

Monday Musings

I’m heading back to the UK tomorrow, and I’ve had the most inspiring few weeks in South Africa. Our Pitch winners are absolutely amazing. Our judges’ panel was unanimous in the selection of an unprecedented two winners!

I’ve had a chance to work with both winners personally and we will continue development work over Skype.

We also presented six Master Classes in Pitching and Adaptation at area film schools. It’s been a whirlwind of activity.  I enjoyed every minute but I must say–  it’s good to be back in my UK home.

In the next couple of weeks, I’m heading off to Belgium to work on a long-running television series.  I’m prepping to return to the USA in the beginning of April.  It seems I’m always on the move… I’m like Waldo! Who knows where I will pop up next.

I do love traveling. It’s one of the perks of my job. I get to go and do what I love in places all around the globe. It’s a real privilege to make new friends and experience different cultures.

But it will be good to get back to the US and have a base near family for the next few months. To quote Ferris Bueller:

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
