Girl Gone Greek Cyprus
Thursday. A little cloudy, a few drops of rain forecast, cloud for another day and then sun for a week, with perhaps a few clouds here and there, but as we know, all this forecasting can change, especially here on Symi where there is no weather station (that I know of). This means we get our weather reports from Rhodes, but I tend to use Windfinder.com for mine as there’s a forecast from Datca, which is closer. Anyway, just updating you on the weather again, a sure sign that I’ve very little else to talk about.
So let’s go to Cyprus. It was almost a year ago that I popped over there to attend part of the Cyprus International Film Festival (CIFF) and ended up writing a short film overnight and then being part of the production team that filmed it in a garden centre in Paphos the next day. Hard work, but fun. This year, the script I wrote for Rebecca Hall, based on her book, ‘Girl Gone Greek’ was entered into the CIFF 2018 and has made it through to the semi-final round of their screenplay competition, which is good news. As part of the festival, they are doing some scene readings from some of the entries, ‘Girl Gone Greek‘ included, and this is going to be filmed, I am told. I can’t go to Cyprus this year (I am already heading to Athens next weekend and later to England in July), but Rebecca is going. So, instead of going there, here are a few photos I took when I was there last year.
