I have worked with Kevin as I acted in his short ‘Chain Reaction’ alongside my friend Michael Brazil who had won best Supporting Actor at Madrid, acting in Kevin’s very first drama ‘Broken Wings’. Broken Wings was nominated for six awards at Madrid International Film Festival 2012. The nominations were Best script, producer, director, actor, supporting actor and best actress. He has subsequently won best short documentary award at St Tropez for ‘Poetic Emotions’ Q:Any advice for budding filmmakers or writers? Kevin doesn’t feel he is at a level to give anyone advice but working hard is really important. He has very talented filmmakers who make one film every couple years and then think about next one for two more years. ‘If you really like something you have to work hard at it. It is not good enough to make one film every three or four years. I understand if it is not ready but if you can afford it ,it is better to work hard and even with different people.’ He is working with 3 different groups of people and it works for him as well as produce other directors work in the future. Either listen to the podcast by pressing the button above or there is a loose transcript below. Kevin went to China for three weeks and made his first ever film, a documentary, which he loved for the editing. He then made an ad with a friend of his and ‘Broken Wings’ was the third film he made, and the first drama he had made. He knew most of the actors anyway, he had done a Method Acting course so he handpicked the best actors. I asked about self-doubt and why he felt it was good enough to send off to festivals. ‘You never know but I am generally good at identifying if something is rubbish and I am honest with myself.’ The ‘Poetic Emotion’ documentary he made he had the thought that if it was rubbish he would forget about it, and that was the plan and they (himself and Juliet the star) both agreed. ‘After editing you know if it is any good,’ St Tropez Film Festival ‘Poetic Emotion’ won the best short documentary award in 2013. He has been making films for 4 years, he maintains the awards are a fluke. He feels that he has been very lucky and worked with professional people, that helps you get nominations and thus work with better people. After ‘Broken Wings’ he made ‘Studio’ which was about making ‘Poetic Emotion’, ‘Last Letter’ a 3 minute film, and also ‘Chain Reaction’ that I (Marysia) am in. I got to hold the very heavy St Tropez international Winner Award Q: Does he think he is particularly good at giving judges of festivals what they want? ‘You can never afford to submit your film to every festival, but you have to decide where to send your film to give it a better chance i.e St Tropez because the documentary being about a French artist it would have a better chance. Broken Wings as there was a scene he was in that he had to speak in Spanish and Japanese, as was the actress speaking Spanish in it so he thought he would send it to Madrid as give it better chance’ Having been to a screening of ‘Broken Wings’ I thought the bleeding in from shots, the visuals, the more early Almadovar breaking the frame was more why he would have been nominated but of course neither of us know. Kevin has recently finished Salome, a psychological thriller and he was lucky to have twenty very professional people to work with. He started planning a year ago last summer to do rehearsals, costumes, makeups, to decide about every little detail. ‘ In the last few days before shooting we lost a location and without a location the pressure really escalates and makes me depressed but we managed to get an even better location.’ He is hoping to submit it to a few festivals, there is no deadline you can submit your film within the next 3 years anyway. ‘As long as the result is good, the pressure just happens during the shoot.” The Studio from Kevin Bisbangian on Vimeo.

I have known about this for years but have never actually got around to doing it. Now that I have, I can report back that when I say ‘I have no time, I am always rushing around’ I know exactly where my time is spent. In my case I spent a lot of time in the kitchen cooking and eating. In fact I have spent over the last 5 days as much time cooking and eating (yes as stated I love food and my belly) as I looking at my emails, sending CV’s out and organising the business of my creativity.  I have also spent 3 times more time in organising the business of creativity than on the actual practice of my craft. So how do you do this? Well you could build a spreadsheet but that is way too anal and focused for me. I just grabbed an old A4 page a day diary and scribbled in old fashion pen what I did during the day. So I wrote the time I woke up, how long I hit the snooze button for, how long it took me to sort out breakfast and morning coffee, feeding the cat. During the day as I changed activities from getting on a tube to cooking again, to travel and time spent on Twitter I just jotted down the time. Was it perfect? No. However at the end of each day I added it up into the following  rough categories and then after 5 days totalled the lot Travelling Work on my craft Getting ready to go out Cooking/eating Faffing Cleaning/feeding cat etc Emails.CVs out. Printing scripts, ebay, twitter, Running The snooze button Blog/podcast time Sleep Actual time spent on looking at scripts Rehearsals and time actually in auditions Phone Calls. I suggest you try this for 2 weeks, I hate the idea of it but just in 5 days I am already seeing huge anomalies on where I think I spend my time and where I waste time. The snooze button and I have a committed 3 hour relationship over the last 5 days, far more than I spent practising my instruments or my voice outside of singing rehearsals, or indeed on working on text and scripts. Let me know what you learn. I hope doing it for a further 9 days will show I am learning to use my precious time better. I have been using my 13.5 hours travel time well, but I am now getting super organised about taking work and scripts etc to read on the tube. I remember Clive Rowe, the fabulous West End star saying to me that he used to sit and go round and round the Circle line to learn a script as there were no distractions, he couldn’t get on the phone or on email etc. So rather than getting upset about your time schedule, see where you can make small positive incremental changes. AiTunes rating would really help other people find the podcast so if you have a moment I would really appreciate it https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/love-your-creativity-podcast/id633181477 Tracking Your Creative Progress Here we also look at the  weekly tracking where I encourage you to do an end of week think back on what has been done, produced, worked on, booked and paid for creatively. (I don’t mean you are doing ‘creative accounting”!)  Whether you are a full time painter or a 40 hours a week office administrator who sings on the side, this is to encourage you to keep creating and make the world a better place, one song, poem, piece of art at a time.   I also have written a mini tracking tune for you to sing along to while you track.Time To Track by Marysia Trembecka Plus I did a Podcast in detail on tracking and its advantages.
