Diamond Diver Takes the Plunge

I would have liked this first blog to coincide with the start of my journey in making this film but the reality is that I find myself already some way down the road with the development of this feature film. In the next few blog postings I shall endeavour to provide you with a summary of the road I have travelled so far and what I have to show for it along with my master plan and the key people that will help make this happen. But for now I'd just like to savour the moment for myself..............Diamond Diver's first blog.

About Diamond Diver

I guess there are many things that drive people to make films. For me it comes down to two things;

• The creative motivation to tell a story that entertains and inspires others.
  
• The entrepreneurial energy to create something commercially successful from an idea or vision.

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive and so in this blog I'd like to chart my journey of turning an idea into a blockbuster feature film. I hope you will follow me as I navigate the commercial peculiarities of Feature Film Production from the sharp edge of film finance and deal making to assigning cast and crew and as I ponder the more creative dilemmas in making this film.

My aim is to offer you a unique perspective, share all the lessons that I learn (there has been and will be many!) and I hope to generate enough curiosity and interest to at least fill a movie theatre or two.
