The emails I picked up last night (to my home account) suggested that the freelance post was pretty much over; the company are quite keen for me to invoice clients personally now, rather than through the brand, which I find a bit strange. Possibly, because the brand doesn't really exist any more. Either way, probably time to mutually let that one go. 

Up early today for the screen testing at the cinema. Was a little late because the A14 was playing up, but they were very friendly there when I did eventually make it in. They were testing a proper big film before mine, with monsters and crazy sounds. Ours looked quite, shall we say, lo-fi, in comparison. I'm well out of my depth. Needs converting to a special file type but will "probably be okay" according to the nice projectionist lady. I'm still very nervous about it all. And still haven't seen the final, final cut of the movie - although Karen messaged earlier to say it's done so I just need to pick the whopping great file off her to view it. 

Confirmed a brilliant director for the Christmas musical, hurrah! Sarah is great to work with, and I knew that asking her lots and lots of times would eventually see her give in and take on what looks like a tricky task. 

Nice phone meeting with Jon about another advert role. 

Spent some valuable time with Mum and Dad today; he's had a shaky few days but seemed stabilised, if exhausted today. The dog bit me, it really hurt - actually could feel her teeth crunch the bone of my hand. I'm a drummer; this could have cost me a lot of work. Seems okay a few hours later, fortunately. 

Got back and spent a good 4 hours working on the dialogue for the musical. 

Agreed to a 'Make or Break...' tour show in a lovely venue in Cardiff for next year.
