Edinburgh festival was great! Writing soon! For now, photos!Aindrias De Staic.



Andrew McClelland, wonderful Melbourne comedian... fingers crossed he is in Czech Rep next week starring in my new music video for Miou Miou.


Claudia and David O'Doherty my fave Irish comedian.


Jumping for joy, as usual.

I saw some amazing films and had fun helping Aindrias promote his show, he got great reviews and coverage in the paper. I met GREAT people through the film festival including the man whose work inspired me to actually make ELEVEN, so that was super. More soon... I am packing... Off to Sweden tomorrow, shooting my 11 yr olds then Czech Rep next week for shooting. Meanwhile please visit www.genbailey.com to links for portable film festival. I have 7 entries in this year.

Demons and Angels

Click here to view my new blogYesterday I went to see Irvine and Hannah aged 11, at their drumming competition. Man the steel drums are so COOL! It is hard to keep still when filming, I cant stop moving to the beat. Has anyone ever heard them in Oz? I am hooked.

3rd prize. They shoulda won. Not that winning is everything ...
Then Milo aged 2 weeks had a go for my camera!

Meet ASTI aged 9, one of the main stars of my new Dogumentary, its been a long time between Dogumentaries, but this one is going be gold! Asti will explain how a supermodel requested him for a 4 day photoshoot overseas paying about AU 7500, but how once his Mum heard it was for Naomi Campbell she refused. You know, after all that mad phone throwing press.. He might not be safe! Stay tuned...

My new blog

Hey kompis

I have started a new blog. Write me if you would like the link. If not stare in to the eyes of Bosco the most beautiful 4 legged man in my life these days.

I will still be blogging here, the new one is about my travel adventures for a more public audience... ie / crazy stories and dog pics will stay here.

I would like to hear from you

Gen

How are you?

Wow it has been a long time between posts.. how are you?

The Movie We Made - for Nick

SO, I don't really blog that often and when I do I never get round to mentioning all the stuff we have been up to, but , here are a few highlights from this hectic week.
We just finished shooting a new music video for the wonderful Nick Huggins, it was a lot of fun.
The song is called 'Movie We Made' and you can listen to it here www.myspace.com/apocketfullofstones. He is an excellent producer too... A boy to keep an eye on...

New videos coming this month for Eva Popov, Simon Moore and a few other treats...






This week we are going up to Sydney for a conference where I will be doing a pitch ...
Fingers crossed.
After a very sad and distressing week it was refreshing to be able to finish it off by focussing on smiles like this.





Nothing like a bit of harmonious over achieving brothers rocking out in front of a happy crowd at a great venue. I can't believe they might be turning the Palais Theatre in to apartments??? Craziness.


Evermore played with a 21 piece Zulu choir visiting from South Africa for the first time. Man do those guys let off good energy.
You can watch some of my work videos here www.heraldsun.com.au
Evermore acoustic performance and interview, APRA awards, what else, oh David shot a tiger and snow leapord getting their teeth fixed at the zoo, that is on there too!

The clock is ticking and I am leaving Melbourne soon, excited to shoot and see all my friends overseas, and excited to meet more 11 year olds. Let me know where you will be in July :)
Enough for now. I have 4980 photographs to tend to...

Sore tum tums

We just got cake and ate it in the car in the dark then realised it was mouldy = GROSS! I took it back and the severely defensive shop lady starting yelling at me, no sooner than she grabbed the remaining cake and mushed it so hard in to the gladwrap then threw it in the bin quickly. Talk about destroying the evidence. I LOOK LIKE TROUBLE apparently, and she has been working around food for 35 years and never had ANY trouble.. so you know, I can go to bed feeling a bit queezy in the gut but ever so tough knowing that I am BAD ASS by The Real Greek Souvlaki Cafe standards...

She messed with the wrong girl I tell you, the wrong girl.
Especially now that I am 26 and all bitter about old age and stuff, plus I hav had lots of cake lately so I am cakewise some would think...

Her argument was "It was in the fridge so it can't be off!"

Maybe she will let me wrap random shit up and put it in her fridge and then I can come round every month or two when its green and say "but it is in the FRIDGE so it must be ok"

Ay ay ay, I am USUALLY very sympathetic with these sort of things, I did my days in hospitality, and I know the customer is always right stuff can be a pain, but, hello!
Of all people, telling me that I am 'out for trouble'... hello ! I IS OUT FOR CAKIES! No trouble. My tummy feels gross now.

Hey Gen, dont whinge, you are BAD ASS remember, the worst she has seen in 35 years!

What would you do in my position? She did her best to make a spectacle out of me in front of new customers as they entered the store... She said loudly 'she wants to eat the cake then get her money back too!'



Whoop -

And in a flash...

procrastinating

I forgot to post this pic from Joselyn's birthday. Was a fun day in the sun at St Kilda Festival. This is Pikey Hen and I at Tagen's bar in northcote, tis cute and homely.



Oh and the one day I DONT wear my white pants...


Umm, am in the middle of an investment application... I am CLEARLY a pro at procrastinating.
