GA EPK clip

Verve Pictures have thrown my way a couple of clips of Gillian and Danny interview recorded during the Straightheads shoot, and some behind-the-scene footage, which I'll be posting this week. On most feature film shoots there's something called an EPK (Electronic Press Kit) crew going around shooting bits and pieces behind the scenes and looking for a chance to interview the actors in between setups.  Here's one of the clips of Gillian, recorded in one of the fantastically ornate and sumptuous drawing-rooms during a very cold night shoot at Mawley Hall in November 2005. The spontaneity she talks about, the little tingle of risk when the scene you're shooting isn't over-rehearsed yet, you haven't chewed it to death and the actor's responses are still fresh and "live" - that's one of the real pleasures of shooting with Gillian, especially for a film-maker like myself with a doc background ...

Thanks! O, I have been waiting for Gillian to say something about anything that has to do with this movie. Thanks again. I just love this little blog of yours ;)

Dan, thank you so much!!!! Do you know when Gillian is going to start promoting the movie? What magazines or TV shows?

[Norma]

Thanks to you (and Verve) for allowing us to see this snippet of Gillian talking about Straightheads. Much appreciated. :)

Thanks for posting that video Dan! It's great to hear something from Gillian about some of her time working on Straightheads. I hope more like this will be making their way on to a potential future DVD release.

I look forward to your next update! Have a good weekend!

All the best,

- Alan.

Dan Reed you are such a sweet guy! Love what you said about here and love the clip! Thanks for spoiling us rotten! ;)

[Gillian]

Thank you so much!

You know what? Watching this clip, I felt like I was watching an interview on TV or something (as if it could be possible here in Spain, although the film is going to be released here - I hope!). Seeing Gillian talking about her experience, about the film, about this film... made me think "God, this has to be a great film." :lol:

And, as always, I have to say "sorry for my mistakes". :P

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic Dan! Thanks for the clip! You know just how to keep us all happy! I agree with another poster...we want this and more on the future dvd release! Is that too greedy? I just can't help myself!

Anyway, I love the clip! And I also love the evolution of Gillian's British accent. How fantastic...half American, half British!

[Leslie]

Thank you!! I also would love to see interviews like this on a DVD release! It's all so exciting!! Looking forward to seeing, reading and hearing about promotion spots and interviews and seeing the pictures from the premiere!
