Wishing you all a very happy 2026 and that you keep your Sense Of Wonder.
An interim feature length music and visuals, "What Dreams May Come" (2026).
Inspired as per usual by Ken's love of visuals and music. It may be of some interest to a handful of you since Ken features in it.
Stay well guys!

Thanks very much for all that on my films and videos, Iain.
Yep. I'll be out here chipping away on the new feature length, like Gaudier-Brezka and the marathon chiselling of the marble statue in Ken's "Savage Messiah".
There is a marvellous documentary out there called "Alien On Stage" (2020). About a community theatre project mounted by some Dorset bus drivers. Someone then sponsored the production for one performance in the West End. See the film. By the end you will be cheering for them like everyone in that West End audience. Serendipitously, I have been invited to attend a Q & A with the troupe at a showing of the documentary in a few months and see the film all over again. Like Gandalf amongst better informed Hobbits I am looking forward to it and meeting them enormously. You must see the film. It reflects the creative spirit and the determined and loving teamwork that went into the original film, which itself was handmade and did yeoman work on a penny budget and you will appreciate that I am sure. It has a huge handmade heart, and as you are also a theatre man, I am sure you will like it. Enjoy!
Having said that, take care and thank you again, Iain. I'll pop up with info as and when it is appropriate, but my all means, in the upcoming lengthy productive interim, you may wish me luck.
Keep Your Sense Of Wonder, guys.

I do like Alien Blood, and play it on DVD every so often. Your commentary was exceptionally good and helpful for people wanting to make a first film. I also saw Alien Blood on Dutch TV with Dutch subtitles. It is on Amazon (DVD and Prime Video) with a different cover from my version.
I also liked your talk on working on Alien, so good insights. And your two related films- the maritime Alien and the romantic Alien.
When you can tell us how the new film is coming on.

Hi, Iain,
A few words. I am embarking on another feature film project. It has been 25 years since
"Alien Blood". That movie is still out there and the US Distributors have just renewed its' contract,
so it's like Dracula in that it simply refuses to die and walks on, astonishing for an indie film I was sure would be gone in a year.
I know you are a fan of that "Russellesque" feature. This new script will amalgamate two stories I
have wanted to make into a film for many years. I will post here occasionally on updates. It's all highly visual stuff and will be ready when it is ready. But there it is.
Thanks so much for flying the flag for Ken, (and others), and please do keep up the great work.
Stay well, Iain, and all of you Keep Your Sense Of Wonder.
As a matter of passing, the two recent music shorts of my site you will find are "Pets" and "Warp", but there is a fair ton of them in the Ken Russell music/visuals spirit.
Take care of yourselves,

Hi, Iain,
A podcast has gone up featuring a couple of hours of conversation between myself and
"The Broken Halo", a new podcast series dealing with the "creative life". The thread includes some
of my film experiences and a warm sharing exchange about my own biographical life and creativity.
It may be of interest to a few here. In any event, my very best, as usual, and keep your sense
of wonder. Keep up the great work. The link is below:
