New website launched

Hello all! By the time you read this the new website will be online and kicking. If you've stumbled across this blog without having visited said site, the place you need to be is http://www.skerratt-media.co.uk.

I'm Al, or Alex, (prefer the former but it tends to lead to confusion... I've had no end of Alecs and Allans before now.) I'm basically a freelance scriptwriter, actor, director and producer for DVDs, TV and radio! I'm not a control freak I promise, I'm just very passionate, which is an overused word I know, but it's the best I can think of. An alternative might be 'insane,' you can decide.

I won't give you my CV because that would be terribly narcissistic, (and also it's on my website), but, in short, my current project is The Oldest Life on Earth, (which I wrote, acted in, directed etc. etc.), which I'm aiming to have available to buy on DVD in Spring 2011 via my website, (did I mention my website already?)

I'm also writing the new series of Sooty for CITV / ITV1 with Richard Cadell and Wink Taylor which is scheduled for broadcast this year, so look out for that! (It won't be on my website.) I'm hoping to share some thoughts about that in the next few weeks, but really the purpose of this blog isn't bland self-publicity, (although I'd be lying if I said that wasn't a part of it.) I really want to let people inside my head and put my brain to keyboard, as well as giving people an insight into the creative process, and also the Industry. I'm still a noob to professional radio and telly so I'll be blogging very much as an Average Joe, sharing things on here as I learn them.

Feel free to drop me a line anytime, (my address is on my, erm, website), even if it's just to say hi, or to ask me anything, or to tell me anything! There can be some lonely days at the keyboard y'know.

Finally, I'd like to thank Liam at The Simple Site Company for the excellent design and maintenance of The Website, (check him out at http://www.thesimplesitecompany.co.uk), and Daniel for the Skerratt Media logo, who's inbetween websites right now, but has a groovy portfolio at http://www.deepinthought.co.uk.

Bye for now.
