Just back form the North Coast shooting, and more about that later.
For now, I have to share this.

My fifteen year old Joey came along for the experience, and made me proud. Helped as a strong back with gear, lights and all that filmy stuff, and got to experience the whole thing, meeting movie stars, famous musicians and seeing how it all comes together.

He also clicked with Derek Hynd, who was there as well. One day after shooting, the two of them were on the basketball court of Bellingen High, after a performance for the kids of the town (which we filmed). Joey, who loves his basketball, was telling Derek all about Michael Jordan, and then they decided to have a jump off.

The debacle ended when Derek barely managed to touch the bottom of the backboard while Joe as hitting it with his elbow.

All the while they were laughing like drains, just having fun.

A couple of days later, Joey is trying to describe Derek to my Dad, then simply draws this, bung eye and all.

It's a small world Mick, when DK lost his eye in Durbs, many years ago, it was mate of mine's dad who first had a look at the damage done. But there was no fixing it it was so severely damaged......
