The plate is always full. Always.
by Jason Stringer
My Advanced Diploma course is quickly racing to a close. We graduate in October! We have one last Graduate film to shoot in September, on which I have the role of First Assistant Director. After that, like cubs who have been aptly loved, we’ll be released into the wild and left to fend for ourselves.
First on my personal agenda is an application for funding a short film I wrote last year. Going ahead on a short film funded by a government grant would be a very large step in the right direction after graduation, so I plan on giving it my full attention.
My son is now one year old and Christened, and we have another little one on the way! The plate is always full, I have learned to just accept that and work with it. If I wait for it to be empty, it will never happen.
Kerry is being very brave giving me full support in my creative endeavors. We both want to work hard so they can pay off and put some bread on the table and education in my children(s) minds in a few years.
She is convinced our new family member in the oven is definitely a girl. Her tummy is lower and she’s getting all-day sickness, not just morning sickness. Poor girl. She’ll keep you updated with pics of scans and other family progress on her blog, as usual.
Danny Clark has moved here and started the same course I am just about to finish. And Clint West is attending short courses, flying into Perth specifically to attend. It’s nice to be surrounded by such dedicated people who recognise the potential. The filmmaking plate is one I will be happy to fill until it overflows with reward and success.

Cool,Cool. It is a girl i just no it. Anyway not long till you finish film school. You have done very well, you should be proud of yourself setting yourself a goal and going for it not many people can or will do that.
Keep up the good work take care
Love Rochelle xx
Cheers for the support Rochelle!
Rochelle has even nicknamed it ‘Jill’ she is that positive that it is a girl… I’m thinking too along the same lines, if not it might be a gay little boy, just jokes! LOL.
We both have to hold tight soon babe, the rollercoaster is about to being!

Hi Jay
You just keep on heading up and up and up. You know you can do anything you put your mind to. You can see it, smell it, feel it, all that is left is to touch it. Keep that movie (of your life) in your mind, replay it again and again, refining and refining the outcome. We all have faith in you.
My favourite at the moment is “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail (unknown)”
