A few months ago I did a radio recording for BBC Radio 4  It was recorded in my favourite  studio, Maida Vale.   We  recorded Mr Betjeman’s Class and I was young Paul, Boy 1 and senior boy 2.  The story is about Sir John Betjeman’s life and the first transmission is on Christmas Day at 2.15 p.m. Mr Betjeman’s Regrets  was the second instalment and will be transmitted on BBC Radio 4 on Boxing Day at the same time of 2.15 p.m. This will be a poignant experience for me because I played alongside Benjamin Whitrow who played the old Betjeman and he,...

Today I loaded a new post about the short film ‘Lady Luck’.  This was a very enjoyable experience and I also had the pleasure of winning Best Newcomer at The Monaco International Film Festival.  If you want to find out about the people and places I have worked with and at, become a patron for access to lots of behind the scenes pictures, stories and anecdotes. www.patreon.com/adamthomaswright   

It has been a busy few weeks.  I have had a few auditions and recorded a couple of radio plays for the BBC. I have also been spending a lot of time on my Patreon site, patreon.com/adamthomaswright I have been loading information about the next short film we are doing, ‘The Drive’ and I have also been writing accounts of  my acting career and starting at the very beginning with stories and anecdotes. There are also plenty of photographs and there will be lots of behind the scene pictures of various films and t.v. programmes.  At the moment it  is...

I have just created a brand new page at the fundraising site for our next new short film,  ‘The Drive’ at Patreon.com.  This is a innovative way of raising funds for our project.  You collect patrons who are interested in your venture.  I will be providing vlogs and blogs to the page giving information about making short films and also a lot of archive and current news and anecdotes about my acting experiences.  It will be interesting and informative and it won’t cost my patrons a bundle.  You can subscribe for as little as 2$ a month. Have a look at...

Great news for the fantasy short film ‘Tooth Fairy’ which is enjoying a fantastic run at the film festivals and is winning awards.  The Fargo Fantastic Film Festival is taking place at the historic Fargo Theatre on September 21st – 23rd 2017! The Fargo Theatre is an art deco movie theatre in downtown Fargo, North Dakota, United States. It was built in 1926. It was restored in 1999 to its historic appearance and now is a centre for the arts in the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area. What a great place and fingers crossed for ‘Tooth Fairy’. Tragic and sinister twist on...

I have been a bit quiet lately but I have been working away behind the scenes to successfully fund our latest short film.  Unfortunately, the Kickstarter campaign did not succeed and thank you to the people who did back the campaign.  Not to be put off, I am in the process of raising funds in different ways. I have managed to raise some funds privately and I am about to launch a new campaign via a different medium.  I will write more of that later but it will involve news about the campaign and also a blog with stories and...

Today I was on the coast in Kent checking out a location I had seen on line.  As you can see from the photos it is very dramatic and perfect for some of our scenes.  The kickstarter campaign is going rather slowly at the moment but we are still optimistic we will reach our goal. I know this is a lot of money but it became clear to me that our next film should be shot on better equipment with better sound and colour grading.  Doing our next project on my DSLR wasn’t going to be good enough. Therefore, if...

I have just started the Kickstarter campaign for our new short film.  We have until 30th July to raise £3500 to help us hire good camera equipment, pay for music, rewards and distribution.  It would be great if you could spread the word on your media accounts and help us out.   The link to the kickstarter page is https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1004793849/the-drive-a-short-film   Featuring Todd Carty and Tony Clarkin. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1004793849/the-drive-a-short-film There are some great rewards.  Have a look on the site.  Thanks.

Straight off the back of a successful outing at Cannes, Tooth Fairy had a screening last night at the BFI.  It is the first time I have seen the completed film although it was a long time in the making.  Thwarted by funding being withdrawn and having to start all over again.  The funding received was well spent for the special effects which were brilliant.  The production values were impressive.  I was very happy with the result.  I had the chance to talk with lots of people who were generous with their advice and made some contacts.  A productive evening...
