This is quite some time off but the event in New Orleans in October has already sold out.<\/p>\n

I have quite bizarrely, but flatteringly been asked to be a guest speaker at this 3 day event in Austin, Texas on April the 27th through till the 29th. There will also be workshops which I guess I will be doing. But come on, do you really think I am going to give you any of my secrets? I don\u2019t think so. I will be showing you how to do everything wrong and be quietly cackling as I do it!<\/p>\n

The concept is to show how cool event filmmaking can be, although I am not an event filmmaker myself. I have shot some weddings for friends but that\u2019s all (you can see some here) I did consider whoring myself out doing this for cash but I realised that it was all too much like hard work for me and thought I best leave it to the pros who do it day in day out. I have so much respect for what they do. It\u2019s the hardest gig I have done!<\/p>\n

The SUPREMELY talented Patrick Moreau of Still Motion in Canada<\/a> is my warm up act (or more likely the other way around) He is basically just about the best wedding filmmaker out there and if somehow a woman drugged me enough\/ hexed my into marrying her he would be my goto guy…his stuff is simply breathtaking.<\/p>\n

I think the plan is that I am going to talk about ways to improve the quality of your cinematography. Bringing uber cool Bloom-vision(tm) to your work. All I request is, yes you guessed it, a percentage! Please wire the money to Zurich Bank account number: 5739210532. Thanks.<\/p>\n

It would be great to see you chaps and ladies there, even if it is just so you can buy me a nice Martini. It is my plan to go through the entire event with a Martini in my hand and be pleasantly merry, all with the help of you, my public. Dirty is preferable. Thanks.<\/p>\n

I will also be bringing my Letus Infinity (the successor to the Ultimate) as well as my EX5. So I can get some great shots of Austin and if anyone can recommend cool place within a Englishman\u2019s tolerance of driving (about 20 minutes) from Austin that would be wicked.<\/p>\n

A bit closer to now I am almost certainly going to be attending the XDCAM roadshow next month in Dublin, Glasgow and London. I would come to the Manchester one but I will be in Siberia, sorry. In fact I will only just make it back for the Dublin one. This is not 100 percent confirmed. So I will get back to you.<\/p>\n

Also on the 4th November I will be addressing the Reading Filmmakers society event to talk about how amazing I am and how you should all give me lots of money for being amazing. You can visit their website here<\/a><\/p>\n

I am still waiting for other offers to come through. So if you have a conference in Hawaii, Seychelles, Maldives, Gold-Coast, Tobago, Cayman Islands, Rio, New York…well you get the idea. Let me know! I am cheap, well cheaper than my old rival Marty Scorsese. Oh Marty, this rivalry must end. Let\u2019s just be friends dude! Just accept that you are not as talented as me!<\/p>\n
