Mansplaining - Cracking Eggs

Two men on a couch, playing video games. For a long while nobody says anything… How are you at cracking eggs? What.? Like for breakfast? Yeah. I don’t know I don’t think about it. I just crack them I guess Really? Yeah… You don’t get little bits of shell in the mix? What are you getting at? I’m a grown man. I’ve been making breakfast for… years now. I don’t get bits in my…

Special Delivery (2020 Revision) – A short film script (10 pages)

If you wish to read the old version I published way back when you can click here  for the original post, which is more of stage script. I was never quite happy and with all this time off I’ve been going through my old stories and scripts and knuckling down and doing rewrite. Maybe in another few years I’ll change it again. Maybe. Anyway I hope you like the changes and you get a giggle out of…

FlashBack - Hank -DnB Music video "Guns don't kill people..."

FlashBack – Hank -DnB Music video “Guns don’t kill people…”

Flashback from the early days. Circa 2000s

“Guns don’t kill people… People kill people” Watch the whole video for the retort to this statement which sadly has only become even more true. This was created just before 9-11.

This a short DnB docu-music video – Couldn’t think of a better word for it then or now. Created around the same time as the Radiohead video. You will see some of this video…

Flashback Radio Head - Kid A remix

Flashback Radio Head – Kid A remix

This is another blast from the past or flashback if your prefer. One of the very first video pieces I edit way back when I had an Graphite G3 iMac. Limited space. Limited resolution, but I loved the looseness of the piece and even now it touches me. Clearly I was somewhere when I made this and clearly there was some shit I was working through. Wish I could talk to that kid and whisper it was all…

Let’s Talk… I woke up in a Star Trek future. This is a repost from my IGTV account (April 3rd 2020) in which I talked about how I was feeling the second week into the lock-down here in the UK and what it meant for me emotionally.

[zigbingham]

So I’ve applied to university, which at my age is somewhat frightening but I am really excited about it. What is the course? I’ll tell you when I get in – Finger’s crossed.  In the process I’ve gone through my various hard disks and social media respositories and discovered a bunch of illustrations, sketches, photographs and put them together for the entrance. I thought it might be nice to post them here as many have never been seen on this blog. Some of you who follow my Instagram account may notice a few favourites. Anyway hope you enjoy them and if you do let your friends know about this blog or this page and leave a comment. Let me know what you like and what you don’t. With the lock-down going into another month the free time it’s giving me is allowing me to brush up on my art skills (hmm. didn’t intend for the Dad jokes there. Apologies). If you want to keep up with  the more visual side of me then hit the link here and become embroiled.

Probably should ad a instagram widget if I could figure that out.

Stay safe and stay cool.

Public Journal – Writing a script on my phone or trying to…

So here I am talking into my phone like a lunatic. Trying to write without hitting the keyboard. Trying to find a way that I can write and walk killing two birds with one stone or at least stretching my limbs while I stretch my mind. 

I just tried using writerduet to kickstart my scripts. Links hereto see how well that idea went. I have two in mind. The first is the one I’ve admittedly been…

(Private) Journal Entry - Tuesday

(Private) Journal Entry – Tuesday

Today is another one of those days. Plenty to do and to be done in a particular order. Already I am stumbling at the first hurdle –  writing. Must be a Tuesday. Tried installing writer duet to start on the script(s) but it wont install on my amazon tablet. I could expand on the story of the lockdown script (that’s it’s codeword it’s real name is something else and I appear nervous to even release…

Journal - What to do in lockdown? I know make a movie!

Journal – What to do in lockdown? I know make a movie!

This is a test. Good we are back. Familiar keyboard. Familiar screen. Why has it been so long since we’ve faced each other. I had it in mind that I would buy a laptop… actually two… and that went well. So two months later and it is two months, I am here staring at you again and wondering why I left it so long.

A lot has happened. The event has us in lockdown. I have been fixing and mending,…

The Path not taken (micro short/sketch)

I am haunted by wrong decisions, by memories of paths not taken.

I see glimpses of a life that could have been through dreams of that other me. Vivid. Clear. Like a moment of clarity the Nexus of other mes swirl around the one I visit tonight and for a moment there is peace. Around me the walls of space and time open up like the eye of the storm within a hurricane the space expanding in a slow…
