There is something about working and living in London right now that can really get on one’s nerves. Everyone is moaning about the economy and the shortage of money. Then the new government abruptly shut down the UK Film Council.<\/p>\n

On top of that the weather really sucks in London.<\/p>\n

But do you know what? There couldn’t be a better time to try and launch your screenwriting and filmmaking career.<\/p>\n

Recessions – like all abrupt social changes, create vacuums. The old order gets swept away with all to the dead wood, priming our civilisation, and our film industry for regeneration.<\/p>\n

If you have new ideas, if you have vision, and if you have passion and drive, there really has never been a better time to create, write, direct and produce your movie.
