How I did it
It made me
happy 
How I did it: I went on courses, looked things up on the internet and drew on my life's experiences. You have lots of false starts, but persevere, and once you have written the book, say in three months, or so you need to revise it. Leave enough time between readings to be objective. In the meantime, write another book. When the initial ideas have left your head from the first draught revise it. You will see lots of mistakes. The real work is in … Read how I did it…

Ummmm. 
How I did it: Hard work, courses, more hard work, advise and even more hard work. I sold two film scripts, they are being costed and now is the difficult bit, to find Angels to fund production. Read how I did it…

Harrowing but fun
How I did it: After graduation in 1987 I planned a journey with my familyfrom England to Turkey through Eastern Europe and the Balkans. We took an 1100cc Mini Metro and towed a trailer tent with three kids myself and wife. We saw Vienna in Austria, Budapest in Hungry, Count Frankenstien's castle in Romania, Bulgaria and much of Turkey. On our return we went to Meterori in Greece, Sophia in Maccedonia, Sariyavo, Pristina and Venice.... It was great seei… Read how I did it…

I suppose it depends on what type of representative you are standing for. I think the first rule for any candidate is that an elected representative is a public servant first of all. You should only be there to help people and create balance in society.
Despite being elected in the main by my own efforts one must remember that religion, politics et-cetera has a more sinister side. These organizations in the main are vested interests groups and do not reflect their stated aims. Indeed it is surprising how one can easily get carried away in the mob mentality – then and us. We are living in a soup of lies and it is the exceptional representative who realizes this and stands up for what they feel as right. You will probably be very unpopular for doing so.
However those that do stand up for what is right and equitable are oft remembered. Jesus and his stand against religious exclusion of sections of Jewish society, Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King in legitimate protest movements. Muhammad and his actions to emancipate slaves and give rights to common people and contain warfare. Cromwell and his internal conflict to rid England from a tyrannical monarch who was erroneously supported by Church Law. The list is endless.
It is about 4 weeks before we complete the pilot after a long and arduous task for two years. It is a great honour to have worked with some of the great people in the industry. It will make a debut at Kidscreen 2012 in New York. Results after MIPCOM 2011 were very promising. Who is Henrietta? is something very special.
I have a second series pilot I hope to complete for MIPCOM 2012
