The future

Exciting Projects and plans.

Sometimes the waiting for the green light seems to last a life time. I am very much looking forward to help complete Principal photography on “The Flood’ which is a film that deserves a very large audience when it is ready for release.
I am preparing for a Master Class on Third Assistant Directing at Pinewood Studios, the week after next and working on schedules and budgets for 2 projects that I hope will go into production in 2018.
There is a project which i hope will go into production in the Autumn of this year. i am crossing everything possible that we will be able to disclose more very soon.
I am still planning my trip to America and Susie and I have another Amex BA voucher to use up before the end of the year.
The sales of Dad’s books have reached 380 and we have helped make £4000 for Linden Bridge school with the book sales and the sales of the Bamber DVD “A Night to Forget” (still available if anybody needs a chair leg propped up to stop any wobbling).
I am working on the script for the Comeback show and it is just a matter of the correct timing before it is unleashed on an unsuspecting public.
We have lost some wonderful people over the past couple of years but 2 weeks ago today I received a phone call from Harvey Harrison to let me know “The Duke”, Steve Foster, had passed away.
I’m afraid I don’t possess the vocabulary to do justice to this Work colleague and friend.
The Man From Uncle was the last film I worked with Steve on. Well, it wasn’t like work. Paul Jennings, 2nd Unit Director, Harvey Harrison, Kenny Atherfold, Steve and the other wonderful Steve. Roberts.
It was a a mini reunion of the crew from 102 Dalmatians.
We filmed the film and we filmed the Crew Awards ceremonies every week and we filmed special shows performed by the crew to reflect the whole world.
When we were filming on the Thames I believe the crew had paid Steve a certain amount of money to push me in the Thames (because I had refused to agree an overtime payment). In the end he didn’t have to push me because we had Dave Evans and Jason Horwood as our Armourers who were supposed to be shooting at the secret agents but were such terrible shots, I was the only person in danger of being hit.
To honour Steve we have renamed the “Alice Evans, I don’t want to be here anymore award” the “Alice Evans, I don’t want to be here anymore, Steve Foster memorial award”.
