BORROWED TIME
                                                      Written and directed by Jules Bishop
Theo Barklem-Biggs, Phil Davis, Warren Brown, Juliet Oldfield, Perry Benson

Years ago I held a taxidermy workshop in Dalston with the production crew of this film. We were making props for the eccentric main charter who lived on his own with his taxidermy animals.
It has finally been released at Edinburgh Film Festival and the buzz around this film is enormous. ....

"Excellent movie, funny and sad, dark humour mixed with pathos. Will make you cry and belly laugh in the space of one scene. Great storyline with brilliant performances from main charters and supporting cast. Well worth a visit to the cinema and well worth the money you'll pay for the ticket. I hear Bafta nominations"

"Wow what a movie, check out the Kevin geezer. If he dosent make you wanna cry and laught and give him a big hug and kiss on the smacker then you aint got no heart and soul. Gobsmacking performances, banging scrip, great storyline. What can I say- go and see it....."

"Scouse ninja's, Shadow men, psycho steptoe and loser main character with flashes of Robert De Niro. This film is full of surprises and never ceases to entertain.  Trainspotting meets Shakespearian tragi-comedy meets dickensian melodrama. It takes you to the depths of dispare and then gently lifts you. This film has the lot and more. With added hints of peter Shaffer, Joe Orton and even Becket in the black humour/ dark comedic techniques displayed in the writing. If the industry have a soul and the public have a heart it should do well."

About

BORROWED TIME is a fresh and life-affirming comedy, telling the story of the unlikely friendship between a hapless young burglar and his eccentric victim: 
Kevin, an inept would-be criminal that needs money fast to pay back a local crime lord, a sword wielding psychopath. Breaking into the home of an eccentric recluse seems to Kevin a likely plan untill the enranged old man unexpectedly shows up with a gun. The strange bond that forms between these two misfits becomes the premissis of this unusual comedy-dram produced through Microwave- Film Londons micro budget feature-film fund in partnership with BBC Films and the production company Parkvill Pictures 


Description
BORROWED TIME, written and directed by Jules Bishop, is the seventh feature to come out of Film London's award-winning 'Microwave' feature production scheme, in association with BBC Films.

I cannot express how much this means to me. I am so so happy that this is in the world. Years and years of hard work has finally come together to create this modern day classic. So much love and well dones's to Jules Bishop. Watch this space as there is a another corker coming your way:  'Cafe Finito' another quirky comedy about a man who tries to open a fine dining restaurant in the aftermath of an apocalypse

Plug Me In, Turn Me On

I've been banned from Facebook again.  Whoops. My mum says I need to stop. It’s like, my 5 th   time now. They keep telling me that if I do anything wrong again that’s it. Wiped off the face of the face…book. I’m a repeat offender you see. Keep publishing indecent material apparently. God knows what I was dreaming about but I woke up and the first thing I did was this. It's a collage not a metaphor. Currently living in an ex mental day care centre and I found a curious collection of informational photographs, crying out for a collage or two.  These pictures of plugs were my favourite. Plug Me In, Turn Me On BANNED After creating another masterpiece, the first person I had to tell was Facebook. It turns out that Facebook can’t handle a few pieces of paper stuck together, crafted simply with an eye for detail and glue. Facebook can handle the hideous sites devoted to woman’s breasts and arses and all manor of other shameful public shows and grotesque acts of the mor

Debut Contemporary: CON ARTIST: Crimes Against Artists Humanity

Image
Subtle There's  a man called Samir Ceric in a Gallery called Debut  Contemporary  on Westborne Grove that has bullied, manipulated and lied to thousands of young, naive and inexperienced artists. Playing on the fact they are desperate to make it in the art world.  Here’s some advice for free:  YOU CAN’T BUY YOUR WAY IN There is no short cut to fame and glory. You get it by hard work and hard work only and if you are willing to work hard YOU WILL SUCCEED. You don’t need to pay over 400 pounds a month (for min 3 months contract) for a mentoring scheme from a man with no background in art whatsoever… Astoundingly Samir Ceric had just been voted (AND WON) the Hospital Club’s 100 most influential people in the Art and Design category. "I CHOKED ON MY LOAD" Now let me give you some background on the winner: A serial and self-styled entrepreneur, with numerous failed/bankrupt business and absolutely no art qualifications at all. I was amazed

Like A Lamb to the Slaughter. Easter special.

Image
Like a Lamb to the Slaughter I had arranged for some people to come round. They just wanted to see what I got up to on my day off, take some picture ect.  I was planning on using a hare (it being Easter and all) but the only thing that was budging was a lamb.  I was planning on crucifying it before I knew about Gunther Von Hagens and his idea of taking a dead body to the Pope.  These baby lambs died of natural causes soon after birth.  Sinking feeling I decided not to wash the blood out. It's the harsh, stark  reminder of the brutality.  I then turned the spot light on and...
