NEARLY THERE

Sorry for blog silence - let's say things have been busy, and busier...The summer's gone & we're back to carrying umbrellas in our bags.

We'd like to introduce and welcome the latest addition to the LEDY team: Tuuli Alanärä - our editor. Originally from Oulu, (a town in the North of Finland), Tuuli has been studying at Finland's National Film School for some five years now, cutting all sorts of films, bits and pieces. In fact, she's a bit of wizard and just what we have been looking for - so we are very happy indeed to have her onboard!

Tuuli's cut of Live East Die Young is looking pretty impressive after a short and intense period of editing with typically temperamental equipment, and we should be locking the picture at the end of this month.

Difficult to describe our excitement. More soon...promise.

BRANDY, DIRTY, DALSTON.

Taigen from Bo Ningen by Matt Hass

Congratulations to all of you who survived this Winter! Thank god it's over. The sun is out and we are finally back from blog hibernation...

The first assembly of LEDY was completed in January and the comments from a few selected Hackney guinea pigs recruited to view the footage went along the lines of “DIRTY”…“AUTHENTIC”…“DISTURBING”. Encouraged by this feedback (and occasional encounters with Jallu and other dear Finnish friends), Laura has been hammering away with the fine cut in Helsinki, taking the film to an even darker direction...So much so that for health and safety reasons, it is time for our director to return to the spiritual home of the film, the Centre of the Universe as we know it, the place where it all started – Dalston.

We are thrilled, excited and delighted to announce that a certain Samir Eskanda, a veteran of Jamboree, Stags Head and other unnamed haunts has joined our team as music supervisor. He’s been coming up with some fantastic tracks for the film in addition to the artist cameos already filmed…For those who haven’t yet heard, we have appearances by BO NINGEN, FERAL, RELICS and BRIGITTE APHRODITE in the film…Also in the post-production team is Myles Hayden, our very talented and charming sound designer wizard, who will work his wonders from his notorious Clapton HQ.
