NOW IS THE TIME OF MONSTERS
Josie Long’s first feature film, Super November, is to receive its world premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival in March.
The movie is described as both a ‘mumblecore romantic comedy and Orwellian dystopia’.
Long wrote the screenplay and plays a Clydebank librarian who meets the love of her life, played by Sean Biggerstaff, just as Western civilization crumbles.
Director Douglas King, who made the film for just £4,000, told Scottish magazine The Skinny that the timing of a movie set in a bleak future couldn’t be more relevant.
‘When we finished shooting the first half, the very next day was Brexit. We finished the second half the day Trump was elected,’ he said. ‘Some of the content in the film feels scarily not as far-fetched as it did when we started it
Long and King previously collaborated on the short films Let’s Go Swimming and Romance and Adventure – both of which were also set in Glasgow.
Super November will have its world premiere at the Glasgow Film Theatre on March 3, at 8.45pm, with an additional screening the following lunchtime.
Glasgow Film Festival will be announcing its full line-up tonight and tickets go on sale on Monday.

Hello!
This is just a short message to say Hi and that i’m doing a short tour in Oct/Nov with the brilliant Grace Petrie and Jonny and the Baptists. It’ll be silly and fun and unashamedly political.
I hope you can come if that’s your sort of thing! I know from yougov that 46% of you are socialists now so we thought we would cash in on the lucrative millennial socialist dollar while there was still time. I hope you’re having a lovely summer.

Hi friends,
here is my news…
#LTOTBH
I run a very silly club called The Lost Treasures Of The Black Heart, it’s most months at Our Black Heart in Greenland Place, Camden town. It’s a place for me to try out new ideas and for great acts to do short special presentations about unsung heroes, obscure facts and hidden gems.
If you’d like to come to the gig then we have three more this year:
11th September, 7th October, 13th November. Doors 8pm, the price is £5 and you can’t buy tickets in advance.
If you can’t make the live shows, then we podcast it and there are new podcasts coming very very soon indeed! I’m trying really hard to catch us up, as they are currently being released about 18 months after each gig.
They’ll come up at www.losttreasurespodcast.com
Also – I’m sorry if the podcasts are sketchy sometimes, it’s mostly mucking about and trying out germs of ideas that become proper routines later on.
Robin and Josie (and Grace’s) Shambles Tour NEXT WEEK!
If you’re a fan of the podcast that I make with Robin Ince, or just a fan of either of us, or of the fantastic folk singer Grace Petrie, then please note we’re doing a mini tour together this autumn, and hopefully further dates next year! It’ll be a fun, silly show of new ideas and collaboration.
It starts so soon:
2nd Sept Glasgow Stand
3rd Sept Newcastle Stand
4th Sept Salisbury Arts Centre
5th Sept Norwich Arts Centre
6, 7 Sept Reading South Street
PLUS more dates in October and December!
Let’s Go Adventure! Film tour in November!
Last year I made two excellent short films with my friend Douglas King in Glasgow, Scotland.
We are so proud of them and we’re taking them on a tour of the UK in November.
It’s going to be so good. If you’d like to find out more, then you simply must like us on facebook.com/dougandjosie, or follow us on twitter: @doug_and_josie.
And at the moment I’m writing a screenplay so that we can make a microbudget feature in april 2014, which is why i’m getting so much displacement activityesque admin done right now!
Arts Emergency
My excellent friend Neil Griffiths and I have set up a charity to help support and encourage people to study arts and become artists and we would love to have YOU involved!
Have a look if you are an arts graduate, an arts lover, a creative person, or you simply believe that art is vital and brilliant and important.
The simplest way to describe it is as an ‘alternative old boys network, comprising volunteer contacts who are willing to give a leg up to those following in their footsteps.
You can become a fully trained AE mentor and work with one student for a year or you can be on hand to be an AE contact for mentored students to call upon when your experience and input is useful to them.
They provide you with all the training and support you need and you’ll also get your own portrait by the Arts Emergency artist in residence Paul Williams!
Joining takes 3 minutes max, and you can do that here: http://bit.ly/altoldboy
To make a modest but vital monthly contribution of £5 to my work with them please visit bit.ly/donateAES
I hope you enjoyed this lengthy little update, thanks for looking at my site and everything
