Russell Gardens, Dover

So the good news is I am responding to treatment which means I get to have another 6 cycles of chemo and then probably maintenance chemo… I guess it means I have a bit more time and although I will have to live with a lot of uncertainty, I can anticipate being reasonably well for a while. Having done 6 cycles now, I’ll manage the next 6. There is a kind of rhythm to the side effects….

The film edit is coming along and I am paring back the sound and footage. I know with the internet it could be any length and watched for as long or as short a time as the viewer wants, but it will definitely benefit from a tighter edit. I think it’s something like 3 hours at the moment … eek!

It is so hard to make this film into one that is not a documentary – it feels like a bit of a tightrope. I am trying to have a narrative through the sound and a different narrative through the images or at the very least not match image and dialogue so that the final narrative has to be pieced together somehow.
