Jammie Dodgers – New Episodes

livvyy

Just in time for World Audio Drama day on the 30th, I just finished production on two new episodes of Jammie Dodgers by Ciara Gillan.

I produced episode 1 of Jammie Dodgers as part of series 2 of the New Drama Hour series which at the time had a focus on developing scripts from new women writers.

You can listen to it here:

We’ll also be broadcasting it again on Friday the 1st of November followed by broadcasts of the 2 new episodes on the following Fridays.

It’s a workplace comedy set in Berlin about a group of office temps from various countries (Ireland, France, Germany, Australia, the U.S.) who are determined to do as little work as possible, outsmart their manipulative boss, delay adult responsibility and not sleep with each other. They fail on all counts. Jammie Dodgers is a show that explores that time in your early twenties when, despite your best efforts, you start becoming an adult and making the choices that will determine your future.

Directed by Anna Nugent

I’m currently working on a funding application for additional episodes.

Using OBS to set up an in studio Webcam

31 Days is a challenge each October were you try and watch 31 horror movies over the 31 days in October. I’ve been doing it for the past few years with varying success, life has a tendency to get in the way so it can be heard to keep up.

This will be my 5th year doing it and I keep a log of each movie on my Letterboxd Account

A lot of people seem to plan out what movies they’re going to do over the month beforehand but I just see where the vibe takes me each day.

Cult Movies

It’s been a while since I’ve made an update here, mostly due to issues with web hosting company. But I’ve moved everything over to a new server now. Obviously, I’ve been working on a lot of things since the last update in September 2021, so I’ll start updating the site by writing about what I’ve been up to and working on.

Sunday Night Movie Club

One thing I did during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns was start a little cult movie club where every Sunday night a bunch of us watch two cult movies. It’s been a lot of fun and we’ve kept it up and running to this day and we’re almost at 400 movies. The full list of movies can be seen on my Letterboxd account here: https://letterboxd.com/monkeyfudge/list/sunday-night-cult-movies/by/reverse/
