About Me

My name is Graham Stoner. For the past two thousand years I have been involved in pre-production on my first feature film based on my first feature screenplay entitled; Stillborn. As well as that, I have also finished another feature. A spin-off entitled; We Were Trojans. another character piece but unlike it's parent' Stillborn feature. It has a rather bizarre techno thriller narrative involving corporate espionage and revenge, all this is superfluous to the philosophic debate that the two central characters are forever involved in. Their question; what is love? Makes me sound like a bit of a nonce.Reliquary is a character piece, melancholy in atmosphere and with religious allegories set against the backdrop of Brighton. I've recycled some of the characters from Stillborn and used them in a short film I'm due to shoot once the script has been completed.In 2007 I moved out of my parents garden and down to Brighton. It have been a long time since I've worked on a film but I recently aquired a camera so now I can continue with my film work. In the mean time I've been editing the script to Stillborn in order to streamline many of the ideas. I'm also working on some crazy fucked up script entitled Underclass. This is your typical action/gangster/drug flick about a town that has been made into Europes largest open air prison.Looks like my proper first feature will be 24 Miles North but that's on a need to know basis only.I am also interested in shooting music videos and other shorts. Unfortunately I had to turn down the opportunity to shoot a video for the Cardiff band; The Stop Motion Men due to my own personal financial reasons. And I've been inadvertently putting off many opportunities to shoot Laid To Waste! But now they're no longer about. Shame, really.Previous media orientated work can be seen on the £24 Drink. Also be sure to check out my friends work; Psy has his music to listen to and rate while Dog Boy is displaying his artwork.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

For this section I'm going to copy the first sentence that Wikipedia says about this individual... no matter how irrelevant it may be.

Hunter S. Thompson. "was an American journalist and author."

Howard Hughes. "was at times an aviator, an engineer, an industrialist, a movie producer, a playboy, an eccentric and one of the wealthiest people in the world."

Sven Hassel. "is a Danish-born soldier and writer who has written pseudo-autobiographical novels based on his experiences in World War II."

Philip K. Dick. "was an American writer, mostly known for his works of science fiction; in addition to forty-four books currently in print, Dick wrote more than 120 short stories and minor works published in pulp magazines. At least eight of his stories have been cinematically adapted."

Globalisation makes me sad.

For most James Cook was one of the first Europeans to have ventured across the semi-arid plains of the Australian outback. But it was at the turn of the 17th Century that Willem Janszoon first charted...

Transformers!

Over twenty years ago some crazy Japanese guys from Hasbro invented the Transformers. Simple puzzle toys that weren't exactly cogitative but did allow that spark of imagination. They were cars, jeeps...

Die Hard 40

I thought this movie was great for having Cyril Raffaelli and Kevin Smith in it. I just wish Raffaelli wasn't just like a parkour version of Karl from the first film.It's all ways good to see some ki...

Another nonsensical dream.

I've touched, briefly, on the subject of dreams but last night I had such a vivid dream that I just had to write about it. It was quite an adventure. But unlike other times where it has drifted from p...

A quick review of The Science of Sleep. By Michel Gondry.

Well, I saw it as a culmination of Michel Gondry's body of work. It was fresh and intriguing but not at all pretentious. Gael García Bernal was exceptional good, he was sympathetic without even being ...
