 2011
turned out to be a great year, with some fabulous acting roles
for Sally, but also providing her with the opportunity of donning
her director's cap again for the first time in five years.
As per our last update, Sally was appearing on ABC2 in the
semi-regular role of "Lee's Mum" in "The Bazura Project" when the call
came through - the money had been raised via donations to enable
her to start filming her docudrama project "Franz Stampfl: The Man Behind the Miracle Mile"!
Within a few short weeks, Sally, along with her Director of Photography,
Tim Egan and Gaffer/Sound Op., Saraj Alkemade were winging their
way to Europe to begin the first round of interviews with people
such as Sir Roger Bannister, Sir Christopher Chataway, Ulick
O'Connor and members of the Stampfl family. Seven interviews
in three countries in ten days and the first lot of interviews
were "in the can"! To read Sally's blog posts about
the trip, go here.
So, what will 2012 hold? So far - more filming on the docudrama
(the next donation round is currently happening - go to the project's
official
website to find out more), plus some fascinating acting opportunities
in theatre and filmed theatre in the coming months. 'Till next
time ... |
