It's my mother's birthday today.
Happy Birthday mum.Viola or Vi, it's weird to say that because to me she is mum. She's 75 and fortunately healthy and looking good. I want success in her lifetime because if I get any I'd like for her to share in it. Otherwise it would just confirm how cruel life can be.
She has been 100% behind me from a very early age.
My Uncle Lionel once said to her when I was a kid." He watches far too much television".
She said "He doesn't watch it, he studies it, It's his life"
Well it hasn't been so far , but I still study it.
And even though I'm not involved yet, ( at 53 ) it's my life and she taught me nuch about films.Yes films. TV is my genre.
She was telling me about James Dean, Errol Flynn and Jeff Chandler when I was 10 years old.Yer Jeff Chandler, women have their favourites for whatever reasons.
My mother and father separated when I was four years old and my sister a baby. This was unusual in the 60's and she was a working supporting mother all my childhood , without any government assistance she deserved a lot better. She also deserved a successful son.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM.
Love you.
"Multi-reasonably talented" "The most prolific, undiscovered, ok talent in the history of Brisbane". I've been knocking on the door of production houses, TV stations and film bodies for 35 years plus without anyone taking much interest. I gave stand up a go and although I did well at it I could see in Brisbane it was a road to nowhere. 15 film scripts 3 sitcom pilots plus episodes. One 6 part mocumentary series Hundreds of comedy sketches Hours of stand up material.
