FOW Pictures on Hiatus

Well... err.

It seems Tom Bancroft, who is the main actor in FOW Pictures, may have left the group for good.

Earlier today, Tom and myself seemed to have had a small argument, which resulted in Tom storming out of my house during the filming of the 10th episode of The Suplah.

With Tom now possibly out of FOW Pictures, that means that many of our up-coming projects may be on hiatus untill we can get some new people with acting experiance. Unfortunatly though if Tom does remain out of the group, it will see the end of the Shriek Watch series (which we just finished filming Episode 6), aswell as stopping any production on the up-coming Liberty film, as well as the Guitar Zero sequal we were planning for this winter.

I will just take this time to express my opinion of what's happened today.

Tom left because apparently I was moaning to him all day. Ok so I admit I can be a bit of a handful when it comes to filming as I basically need everything to be perfect, and if it's not it winds me up. However during the filming of The Suplah, Tom (who was off camera) was doing everything he possibly could to try and get himself noticed on the show itself, interupting at random points during the show with completely useless gags that wern't funny and just disturbed the flow of the show itself. This was getting on mine and Andy's nerves so (because it's the kind of person I am) I told Tom to shut up and let us finish filming. He then continued to be a pratt where at one point he accidently kicked my laptop, the one I do all my film work on. I then had a go at Tom for that, which resulted in him storming out.

I later found out that Tom had been annoyed at me all day because I had a go at him about misplacing my PS3 controller and the tripod to the camera.

Unfortunatly, what Tom seem's to not understand is that these are MY things, and he's treating them with the utter most disrespect. If I went over to his house, misplaced his X-Box controller, messed up his bedroom, used his house as if it was a hotel with it's own maid and then kicked his computer (even if it was by accident) I'm pritty sure he'd feel the exact same way I felt.

Now I can hear many of you saying "why did you have a go at him for accidently kicking your laptop", yeah ok that would be fair enough, thing is though is that he didn't even apologise for kicking it, all he kept saying was that is was by accident. Yeah? That's ment to make everything ok is it? What if he accidently kicked the laptop so hard that it fell off the bed and broke? It may have been an accident but I would expect him to apologise and buy be a new one. Now I'm not saying he has to get me a new laptop, but the fact that he didn't even apologise is what annoyed me.

Tom seem's to forget what I have done for him. I personally chose him to be my main actor in FOW's films and shows. I made it so that he can add the fact he's been in 3 films that were entered into film festivals onto his CV. Me casting him into the films gave him a MUCH bigger portfolio than what he would have had AND if it wasn't for ME casting him in our films, Tom would never have been contacted by somebody who used to be in the media writing guild helping him try and get his big break in Hollywood.

The ever so lovely Mr. Bancroft has yet to realise that all of this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for me. Hopefully after reading this though he may just realise that fact, get over himself and come back and finish off these films.
