Life goes on...

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Wednesday, November 25, 2015,
A wonderful few months since the last update, with the British summer now a dim and distant memory.

I've kept busy with roles varying from multi-accented voiceovers and strangely attired photo shoots to the seriousness of playing a terminal patient. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the challenges that have been thrown at me. There was also the humorous distraction of a friend spotting my name in a local newspaper article in his favourite kebab shop and posting a photo to Facebook.

Since the summer,...

South Korea - Take Two

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Thursday, July 23, 2015,
It fills me with immense pleasure that for the second time, I can say that a 48-hr Sci-Fi film by Matt Harris-Freeth, in which I play a small role, has been selected to be part of The Seoul International Short Film Festival.
The Place of My ?yola-link-is-coming=trueBirth has made the official selection list.
In 2013, the first film I acted in for Matt, The Port, was also selected for this festival.

Hire Standards

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Friday, October 4, 2013,
Please take a moment or two to check out Hire Standards on vimeo. This is a great comedy short staring Nicola Phibben, Craig Malpass, Gemma Reynolds and me! It was also written by Craig and produced and directed by Sica Denerley-Weiss.
My part was great fun, playing a slimy sex-pest boss...

Bad singing and the prosthetic neck

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Monday, August 5, 2013,
The last week has been eventful, as always. From comedy singing with headphones on - cover your ears folks! - to getting soaked in "blood" that seeped out of a gaping wound in my neck as I was bound to a chair in a disused warehouse...
First up was shooting three character scenarios with Jon Cambourne to advertise a new music service to be launched across Europe. This meant learning songs and singing embarrassingly, with headphones on, which is guaranteed to put a smile on your face, if not pe...

Cut throat voiceovers...

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Thursday, July 18, 2013,
The hot weather endures and my work has continued apace and been busy, busy, busy all the way.
I have been recording many voiceovers from my home studio which can get a bit hot and sweaty in this untypical British summer. I'm also very much looking forward to working on a forthcoming short film, in which my throat will be cut and will bleed profusely...!
Aside from that, I've had a lot of live action roles and writing meetings as well as developing several ideas, so watch this space.

Will and the Worry Dolls

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Wednesday, June 5, 2013,
After a recent meeting with London-based filmmaker, Max Clendaniel, I re-watched a short film from a couple of years ago in which I played a yellow-clad worry doll. Will and the Worry Dolls is about the monotony of routine life and a bunch of brightly-coloured and slightly eccentric worry dolls who decide to come into the real world after years livening up Will's dreams.

You can see the film here! 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I had forgotten how funny it is.

Max has recently returned f...

The Port - SciFi 48 Hour Film Challenge

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Friday, April 26, 2013,
I am very proud of my recent involvement in a short film made by talented director, Matt Freeth.
The film was made for SciFi London's 48 hour film challenge, where participating teams have to come up with a 3-5 minute short film over the space of two days and must include a certain prop and line of dialogue.
The resulting film, The Port was unfortunate not to be included on the final shortlist to select the winner, however, it was on the long list and has been selected by the organisers who wan...

CineMe

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Tuesday, March 12, 2013,
I don't think it's connected to the fact that I talked about them in my last blog, but CineMe have selected some projects in which I acted to be screened at this month's event on 26th March in Bristol!
They are going to be showing two comedy adverts to give the audience some laughs and also a more harrowing short film by the talented director, Luke Andrews. I am hugely looking forward to it.

Inspiring short films and a recent voiceover

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Wednesday, January 30, 2013,
2013 is now in full swing and yesterday evening I went to a Bristol short film event called CineMe. CineMe is a fantastic night of short films with introductions by the film-makers and a few words from the host, James Ewen. Every event I've been to has been inspiring and the level of talent of those involved never ceases to amaze me. Screening a series of short films allows the night to contain animation, comedy, drama, music videos and there is always something for everyone as the organisers...
