The day before Valentines Day I had the pleasure of attending the world premiere of the movie "50 Kisses" at the East End's Genesis Cinema. This is the first feature film produced by the London Screenwriters' Festival!
"50 Kisses" was an initiative set up in 2011 by LSF that invited delegates to submit a two page script on the theme of love and every story had to included a kiss. The best fifty scripts were then chosen, produced, and put together to make a feature length movie!
The result far exceeded my expectations...
Seeing these short stories played back to back really took the audience on a diverse, emotional journey. We saw the complexities of love but also the joys and sweetness. Themes ran from first love and first dates, to zombie love, even robot love!
Congrats to my friends Rachel McAdam, Mark Pallis and Andrew Turvil for being featured:)
Last week "50 Kisses" officially broke the world record for the most screenwriters on a feature film! I'm totally in awe of Chris Jones and Judy Goldberg for executing such a mammoth dream. It just goes to show what you can achieve with bit of hard work and perseverance. I just wish I had known about it in time to be able to take part!
