- Danger: Death
Last week at work I heard the producers of a new Bill Hicks documentary on 6Music or something.
It sounded good, and so I made a mental note to tune into BBC4 to see the film on Sunday.
Then, as usual, I forgot. Thankfully there’s the iPlayer to watch it on (if you’re in the UK, I recommend you check it out). So I came straight in from work and fired it up.
I’ve set aside 90 minutes to watch it which these days is rare. A tear did fall at the end, even though I knew how the story would end, I still found myself wishing for a different ending. Just like I do with so many things in life, so many friendships and so many relationships too.
Sadly this isn’t Hollywood. People come and people go. It’s all “Just a Ride”. Those were Bill’s parting words in this documentary. And besides, let’s face it, none of us gets out of here alive…
Anyway the doc was nicely made. Semi-animation with documentary footage and photos. I especially loved the hybrid nature (it’s exactly what I’m hoping to do with my own film).
Anyway the days are getting shorter and as it’s 7:32pm, I think I’ll go take a run and think about what I’ve just seen.
Tomorrow I am delighted to say will be a trip to Loch Lomond for a spa day with Derek. Awesome. A little R&R and a soak in the mud sounds heavenly right around now.
The Cannes prep has been extensive and it’s been a little exhausting. (Not complaining – just saying). Still have to arrange business cards or postcards, and perhaps some branded USB sticks too. So much to do, so little time! Wish me luck x
