Jolly Good

Visiting my grandparents on our way to Iceland was lovely. My grandfather is much better than I expected him to be after two strokes. He was mixing up his nouns, sure, but whenever he really struggled to get something out my grandmother soon shut him up with a dismissive wave of her hand.

But we were able to chat and laugh and drink extremely large whiskeys together, and I even caught Bjarni using the phrase "jolly good" — which he'd obviously picked up from them, as that's what they always come out with when they can't think of what else to say.

I showed them my film, of course. I think they liked it, although I did see that confused flicker in their eyes, y'know, that flicker that says, "how the hell does a three-minute film about a bit of graffiti take three months and 34 people to make?" but overall I think they were very proud.

"Jolly good," they said.

Yay! Jolly Good for you.

Has it been uploaded to the interweb where I can steal...er...purchase it?

The sneak peek stills have me on pins and needles.

Jolly good that your grandfather is better than you expected. He'll undoubtedly continue to improve too, believe me.

I haven't figured out how to convert it yet. Which basically means I haven't tried and I'm waiting to get back to Dublin so Bjarni can do it for me. I'm in Wales for a week...

I obviously joined the fray a bit late to hear about this. Found the description in your archives -- Great concept for a short film.

Please point me in the direction of the stills..?
