Time Titties is a saucy time travel comedy made in Australia for a multi-national Gen-Y audience. The below is my pitch promo reel in order to drum up production support.

With your help I can turn this madness into reality. Tell your friends about the video and encourage them to pass the word on. If you know of any producers in Australia/Britain/North America who might be interested. Send them my way!

Thank you for your support.

Peace and kindness,

Katherine

I have done my best to keep up with the blog and pack at the same time. However, this is the last week before M-Day and I’m doing my best to neither explode and leave a greasy brown mess on the boxes, nor implode and disappear into an alternative universe.

I would suggest for last week’s missing Friday exercise, and this week’s inevitably missing Friday exercise, to send jokes to keep me cheered up. The sillier the better. I’ll post my favourites.

Thanks everyone for your patience.

Peace and kindness,

Katherine

Yes, this doesn’t have a lot to do with comedy, but it’s my blog and my birth-month. Woohoo!

Rock God Birthday Party

Don’t I look like a rainbow barfed on me? And here I designed my own cake wreck which Michel’s Patisserie in Torrens Park kindly baked.

Lovin’s and huggin’s!

Mary & Max is a story about an unlikely friendship that develops between Mary, a plain little girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne Australia, and Max, an overweight Jewish man with Asperger’s living in New York. Their friendship begins when Mary randomly selects Max’s address from the New York telephone book and starts to write him. Despite their outward differences they find they both share feelings of vulnerability, insecurity, and pleasure in some of the small details of life.

This film is done using the slow process of clay animation where each movement involves making a small adjustment to a clay character then photographing it, then moving it again and taking another photograph, etc, ad infinitum. Hundreds of hand done images are created a day only to produce several seconds of film. The care and artistry shows in this form of film-making. Aardman are famous for it.

What I adore about this film is how lovingly the characters and their relationship is developed. Looking at the script most producers would put it to one side: where are the two major turning points? where’s the building action? where’s the big climax? Mary & Max avoids the formulas and still delivers a perfectly accessible and appealing film.

Mary & Max was chosen to open the Sundance Film Festival and more recently it has been selected for competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2009. Congratulations! Go Aussies!

Please come and help cheer me along for a win or at least a good time. Tickets
are only $5.

My soft toy Tiki Mbulu will be making an appearance to assist me in reading my
most EVIL poetry. Some of you may remember “My Budgie”. I will also be
reading “A Paean to Villainy” and “Ninjas Ninjas Ninjas” (how could you
possibly miss that?).

I look forward to seeing you!

Peace and kindness,

Katherine

The faboo news is that IT Crowd actually won a BAFTA! Graham deserves the recognition 100%. I can’t wait to see another season of computer based mayhem. I’ll be looking for that Linux penguin floating around in the scenery.

As we say Downunda: Onya mate!

• Improvisation
• Physical comedy
• Character building
• Scene creation
• Comic storytelling

Writers will become familiar with the comic strengths of our performers and develop sketches and proto-sitcoms to suit, as is done for television. They will then see their work performed.

Performers will learn how to support one another and the scene, create quirky characters, get the most out of a script, and think on their feet.

Writers and performers will work together to create memorable stories and situations which will be staged for live productions later in the year. Let’s find out how funny we all are!

Contact me for further details.

Workshop begins: 6:00-7:30pm Thursday 30 April and for this term will go 8 weeks. First workshop is FREE!

Location: Adelaide CBD

Peace and kindness,

Katherine
