I can see what I said made no sense really - but I was surprised even to find anything about the film on the internet. It was a revised schedule dated 28th January 2012 for shooting to take place on Monday 30th April 2012 with high tide at 14.00. It lasts 23 days and ends 26th May 2012. The characters names are so ridiculous and the schedule is so amateur I though t it was perhaps a class drama project for a school. I thought that they might be learning about filming. An example of the characters names are - Canbedone, Darkindeed, Woebegone and Infamy. It has things like "Day 21 filmed at the Fort during the day - Canbedone is alone" <br />The casting agency 'Star search casting' are looking for an Asian girl to be in the film with the advert expiring in 3518 days. Don't think any of this helps anyone - but thought I would share Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-49037251638626059952014-02-16T20:09:37.548+00:002014-02-16T20:09:37.548+00:00Thanks for your interest, you have not mentioned t...Thanks for your interest, you have not mentioned the date of your document, but Mr Cavele has recently been in the Island auditioning young Islanders but there has not been news of filming getting underway.

Have no idea why I have kept it - but thought I would google it and found this thread.

My concern is that Cavelle, wrote it, produced it and is to Direct it, if it's the sort of budget Cavelle says it is, then no financier will touch it, if the same person is doing all three, unless you are Clint Eastwood! fact! I know the film business very well. Oh, and Cavelle has never Directed or written a screenplay before! so it's fine to have 127 pages of a screenplay but is it any good? It's his first script..... I would love to see a copy of the script! Do you think King has been given it? A question for King, have you read the script? The film feels as if it will have a lot of special effects, if Cavelle is a First Time Director this is already sending red signals in my ears!

I do not think we have enough evidence to make that allegation but at the same time we do not have the evidence to rule it out either. And therein lies an issue. One of the main purposes of due process and Scrutiny is maintain a system of accountability and transparency which ensures that allegations of improper conduct do not even make it to the table. On that last point we ought all to be able to agree that "the system" has failed us yet again. So who ran the process on this occasion and who will hold them to account? And will we get enough information to satisfy us that nothing improper occurred or will the Jersey rumour-mill be allowed to dictate the agenda yet again? Time for someone to "come clean" and remove all doubt.
