The next part of the competition is for anyone to make any of the 50 films. He is the link to my script, feel free to read it, feel free to shoot it! http://www.50kissesfilm.com/50-kisses-the-screenplays/practice-makes-perfect-by-mark-pallis/
Things are moving forward with Destination Saigon – a new martial arts action movie coming out in 2013.
According to the producer:
“My writer Mark Pallis just sent me the first 20 pages of the script for my Vientam Kung Fu flick DESTINATION SAIGON, with a message saying “Get ready to be blown away”. He was right, still trying to get myself back up again : ) “
All the latest information will be posted on the official facebook page.
I’m delighted to announce that I am working on a new project for Vietnam’s hottest new producer Jason Ninh Cao. All I can tell you at this point is that it’s called DESTINATION SAIGON (điểm đến saigon), it’s written by me and the action will be directed by the amazing Vincent Wang (47 Ronin fight arranger).
More news to follow.

This November, in its regular 9pm Sunday night slot, William Garrow was back on BBC1 for a third series of Garrow’s Law. It’s amazing to think it’s been four years since I first unearthed Garrow from the archives! It’s been a real delight working on show as Story Editor. It’s such a team effort and I love the passion that everyone puts into it. I’m proud to be part of the team.
My blog www.garrowslaw.wordpress.com is still active and I’m still answering people questions and queries about the show, so do feel free to check it out.
Here is a clip from Garrow’s Law: from Dawn to Dusk. I directed it, and it will be available with the DVD of Series III of Garrow’s Law.
Following the success of the Move it viral, I am delighted to be working with the cool folks at www.malecancer.org on their newest viral campaign. Their last one is at 1.7million views and rising. No pressure then! Love it!
If you are a charity, or know of a charity, that needs a campaign (PSA), please feel free to get in touch and I will do my best to help out or put you in contact with others.
with best wishes
Mark
