Here is the longer version of the Acadomia Advert.  French version. Director Jeppe Ronde

Today I went to a poetry reading.

I entered a poem into the Barnet Poetry Competition, for 2014,  run by Barnet Borough Arts Council and got a third placing.  I got a cash prize and all the winners poems are published in The Barnet Poetry Anthology.

It is open to all and they have an adult section and a junior section.  The Judge was Katherine Gallagher.

Here is the poem.
WEALTH
When I was a child,
I needed to be wealthy,
I would much rather have fortune,
Than to be prosperous or healthy.
When I was a teen,
I wanted to be wealthy,
I would rather have the cash,
Than to be clever and healthy.
When I was an adult,
I dreamed of being wealthy,
I would prefer to have money,
Than to be happy and healthy.
When I was old,
I didn’t care for being wealthy,
It didn’t really matter,
As long as I was healthy.

The short version of the Acadomia advert has just gone on the internet.  I loved doing this.  This one is in French, the English one comes out later.

Have a look.  I got to be a astronaut.

Featuring in the Tribeca Film Festival in New York  in April.

THE SHAMAN

The dark year 2204, in a world that has seen 73 years of continuous war.

The face of conflict has changed. People kill people but they now rely on giant, intelligent battle machines to fight. Meanwhile, mankind has re-discovered the arts of magic and Shamanism and the Generals on both sides use well-trained spiritual warriors to face the threat of machines. Shamans have special senses; they are experts in all aspects of the “unseen” and the “beyond”. They believe that every person, animal, plant and object has a soul. When crossing the border to the Netherworld, the Shaman can find this soul and interact with it. That is what makes him such a deadly, highly effective weapon. They track and convert the souls of their enemies’ giant battle machines in a psychological soul-to-soul confrontation. But Shamans are not invulnerable. They are just people and can be killed like anyone else.

Shaman Joshua Van Kern and his squire Lene embark on a mission to convert a giant battle colossus and succeed where troops have failed.
