Short and Sweet Sigma News

Hodgepodge (yet cool) bits of Sigma Films related notes and news today...
....Johnny Barrington, director of a Sigma Film short "Terra Firma" got a nice mention regarding recent screening of film at the Inverness Film Festival:It is always exciting to see ongoing creative development in short filmmaking, and Johnny Barrington’s Terra Firma represents a distillation in terms of style, narrative and emotional depth. The progression from previous films such as Shell, Trawler and Trout is clearly visible, and movement to feature films seems inevitable.............

.........LoL Crawley, DoP on Sigma's upcoming Rounding up Donkeys got a nomination at the Independent Spirit Awards last night. Mr. Crawley is previous winner at Sundance for his work on Ballast (nice comments from the director of B on Mr. Crawley here via Indie Wire)......................

............Luci has moved into the editing phase. Colin Kennedy updated his official blog on his new short for Sigma, I Love Luci, noting that he and producer Brian Coffey have called in old friend Jake Roberts to cut his film. Mr. Roberts worked on Sigmas Sommersault, The Last Great Wilderness, worked with David Mackenzie on Asylum as well. Bonus news that yes indeed work is being done at Film City Glasgow, with Savalas, one of the Trifecta of S to handle work for the sound...............

.........not really Sigma related, but cool news anyway cause I cant bloody well wait: Pre-orders now available for FRANZ FERDINAND's new CD via iTunes. New Single also available Ulysses. As I seem to be the only one who cares much, its worth repeating yet again this new disc was recorded at Film City Glasgow and am very grateful for the band and certain fans for uploading video of this earlier in the year! Speaking of Franz on Youtube, good footage of secret gig on the 1st in London at a place called Durr. Fffing great stuff here and here. LOVE THEM SO MUCH!(Snow Patrol and Sons and Daughters are equally made of AWESOME too)
