The content of these posts is the unedited basis for my Senses Of Cinema article, "Go-Go Gorilla". 

The summary of my short film “Meanwhile Elsewhere” at the National Film and Sound Archive reads:

An experimental film with heavy gothic overtones. Images include a woman clad in a very angelic outfit rising from the ocean, who eventually meets a man (slightly resembling Nick Cave) that flies around on a chair. Elaborate sets such as Alfoil rooms, cobweb clad walls and dirty, muddy boys make for interesting viewing but little continuity.

That sums it up, but it was much more than that.

CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

There were quite a few people involved in the production of Meanwhile Elsewhere who were there for me every day and they were completely prepared to move mountains and then give blood to help. 

They were my friends and I guess they did it out of love, and I'd like to thank them for everything they did "for the mastery of cinema"...

Vanessa Kortlang, Frank Trobbiani, Tim Skerritt, Paul Goldman, Christopher Kennedy, John Hillcoat, Robert Howard, David Last, Hugo Race, Mariella Del Conte, Carole Barberis and Anne Gibson.

Thanks especially to my parents Mick and Tena, for their support and patience.

Due to a lack of time and funds I never completed a detailed credit list. If anyone feels like they've missed out or would like changes in the list below, please make a comment and let me know.
