I'm delighted to say that Peekaboo is almost completed. I have copies on my desk of the almost finished film, basically everything except the credits, which are hopefully being completed next week. After that we have the DVD artwork, duplication, master tapes and posters to do and we're all finished!

So we have sent our as good as finished version off the Edinburgh Film Festival yesterday - where I am hoping our film will premier. We'll know in April if it's been successful, so fingers crossed!

It's so exciting to be finally finishing off. The film is both looking and sounding wonderful and once again, a big thank you to everyone that has made this possible.

As we near the very final stages of post production, this is the last opportunity to sponsor Peekaboo. Our credits will be finalised very shortly and after that it's too late to make any changes.

We still need money for post production, marketing and distribution. If you would like to help us, please see our Peekaboo sponsorship page. Thanks.

We are delighted to announce that Debbie Howard will be taking up her new post as Associate Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University in mid January. Debbie will be teaching the Acting for Film module for the drama students there. She is busy preparing her sessions which will make the most of her skills as both a professional actor and a film maker. She is very much looking forward to starting work there and meeting the students.

You can read the whole article which was published in the Yorkshire Post this week about Peekaboo here. Catherine Scott interviewed myself, Lesley Sharp and Shaun Dooley about the film. They showed lots of film stills in the paper too. Big thanks to Catherine Scott for the interview, to the cast and to Rachel McWatt for doing our PR and setting this up.

Very pleased the The Girl with the World in Her Hair has been selected for KIDZ FILMZ Film Festival in Manasquan, New Jersey in January 2012.

Having just returned from Encounters Film Festival, I wanted to share some of the highlights with you. Firstly, I'd like to say what a fantastic festival it is, I saw so many great films and attended some great seminars.

My film The Girl with the World in Her Hair went down very well and played with some other lovely children's films, especially Tooth Fairy Affaird by Izabela Melamed from Bulgaria.

I was delighted that Michelle Arbon, who worked with me on Peekaboo won an award for her short film Above as Below in the Depict section, well done Michelle, a beautiful film.

I particularly enjoyed the masterclass with Carol Morely and Cairo Cannon and enjoyed seeing their new film Dreams of Life. They are such an inspiring pair and it was wonderful to hear them talk about their work and see excerpts of their previous films. I can't wait to see their new film Edge, in cinema's very soon.

I also loved Jez Benstock's The British Guide to Showing Off, which closed the festival on Sunday evening. A really fun film that made you want to dress up, go out and party!

Another highlight was the Bruce Robinson talk, which was sold out, but we were kindly given some free tickets from Carol Morely and Cairo Cannon, which was wonderful, because it was really inspiring and very funny. So glad we got to hear Bruce talk, what a great character he is.

I laughed so hard I almost cried watching Las Palmas, a short film by Johannes Nyholm, which won the Audience Award, unsuprisingly. You can see this on line, I'd really recommend it. I've never seen a jam packed cinema full of people laughing that hard in a long time.

I loved Long Distance Information by Douglas Hart, a fantastic short with a great pay off, and starring the wonderful Peter Mullen.

I watched so many great films it's hard to mention them all. But it was great to see so much talent out there.

I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone that worked so hard to put the festival together, they did an excellent job and made it a great experience for everyone that attended. I hope to be back there next year with Peekaboo.

We're off to Encounters Film Festival in Bristol in two days time for five days of fun, films and more films. There's some brilliant screenings and masterclasses taking place, I can't wait! Our film The Girl with the World in her Hair is screening on Saturday, and I'll be going armed with our new posters to make sure we get maximum impact.

Check out our poster here. Beautifully designed by Kate Warren, big thanks to Kate for this. And printed for us by ASAP in Sheffield.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to our composer, Samuel Karl Bohn and cellist Nerys Richards for their hard work and enormous talent today recording our score for Peekaboo at Samuel's studio in London. It sounds absolutely stunning. I'm getting more and more excited about the film at each stage. The sound will be mixed and completed this week by Grant Bridgeman, then we've just CGI and a Grade to go and we'll be done. Wonderful! Thanks again to all those that have made Peekaboo happen.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to Christine Bell, one of our main sponsors for Peekaboo, and welcome her on board as an Executive Producer. Christine has donated three times to Peekaboo, helping us to shoot our film and complete our post production. Thanks so much for all your help Christine, we couldn't have done this without you.

Finally we have our Peekaboo trailer here for you to watch. Please click the link below. Please help us by making a donation if you can, to help us complete our film. Please also share this with your friends and help spread the word. Thanks to everyone who has helped us get this far.  And big thanks to Will Winfield for editing this teaser for us.
