Now in 4K!

I wish my life was in 4K. To see everything in perfect detail. Where every sound’s… so clear. If my life was in 4K. I’d have no doubts about anything. I wouldn’t have anything to fear. I wish my life was in 4K. I would look clean, sharp, crisp. My clothes would be insane as they flowed, draped, flicked. If my life was in 4K. Beauty would be everywhere to see. And, I would never, ever be tricked. I wish my life was in 4K- What if it already is? My own visions’s as good as a disc’s?  If my life was in 4K. Huh, if it really, truly is… I’ll just have to start taking more risks. Ryan Croughan is the unfortunate soul who keeps the Minor Spillage ship sailing. Sailing? Probably better to say paddling. As well as producing, he finds time to present and provide voiceovers. He also says he doesn't like the sound of his own voice. Bit odd really.

I Want A Stick Insect

fine.

fine is not good. fine is not bad. fine is not fine. fine is just glad. fine is the bedsheets feeling too heavy. fine is the table being wobbly. fine is the mugs being chipped. fine is the after shave being just a bit too much. fine is a Wetherspoons lunch. fine is a faint grin. fine is a light jumper in the blistering heat. fine is a slightly bubbly Guinness. fine is being 1 minute and 49 seconds late for work. fine is being ignored when you wave at someone. fine is being in your friends not too great shower. fine is being told you smell, but not of what? fine is when you get a heart react instead of a response. fine is when you use a napkin instead of a tissue. fine is when you don’t get the right change in the shop. fine is when your parents don’t quite understand mobile banking. fine is everywhere. fine is the streets. fine is the lampposts. fine is your feet. fine is my mirror. fine is those nails. fine is that dog bowl. fine is that snail. fine is my laptop. fine is the light. fi...

"Sick of It" - An Off Script Cold Read

In every episode of ‘Off Script’, Ben and Lloyd are faced with a tough, but real, acting challenge… To take a script, with absolutely ZERO preparation, and perform it to the best of their abilities. No peeking, no hints, no ideas - just straight into the scene, and being left to (hopefully) swim rather than sink thanks to their considerable talents! In the sixth and final episode of the series, the boys faced a scene that challenged them in more ways than one. Perhaps our most naturalistic script yet, Jonathan Dean provided us with a slice of life which allowed the boys to put themselves into the minds of a married couple! Well, married for now at least. Presented here for your reading pleasure, is the script of "Sick of It”… exactly as the Off Scripters were handed it… 1. INT. MASTER BEDROOM. EARLY EVENING. FX: The sounds of KYLE getting ready for an evening out, when her husband, DECLAN shouts from below. DECLAN: Kyle! FX: KYLE sighs to herself. What does he want now? She shouts...
