From The Ground To The Stars (Lost In Bosnia) in Sarajevo

Mr Cole has contributed the opening segment of a new omnibus movie made by the extended family of Béla Tarr's film.factory academy: Lost In Bosnia.

The movie was shot entirely on portable electronic devices and on the theme of filmmaking, with particular regard to the various creative and existential ponderings of film.factory's students and faculty. Mr Cole's short, From The Ground To The Stars, was made with the specific challenge: feature film.factory as a character. Like the other contributors, he was given 7 days to make his short and told to keep the project a secret from his peers.

Lost In Bosnia will premiere at the 20th Sarajevo Film Festival this weekend.

Away In A Sand Dune: free UNIVERSAL EAR ebook

"Hour for hour, I spend more time on the brink of death than I do on the toilet."

The script of the UNIVERSAL EAR Christmas special Away In A Sand Dune is now available to download as a free ebook.

In this stage adaptation of a classic chapter from Harley Byrne’s memoirs, our hero takes a holiday from work but crash-lands on a tropical island on Christmas Eve. The natives’ carols sound oddly familiar, but when Byrne interferes, the island’s corrupt king condemns him to be eaten to death.

Of interest, perhaps, to those looking for a 'comedy' play to produce next Christmas. Do get in touch.

Below, the trailer, and Elly Strigner's fine cover art.
