A Salaried Wit

After a few days spent filling in the sixty five pages, in triplicate, plus supporting documents for an application to the MEDIA 2007 development fund of the EU, I am all but spent, as it were. So all I can muster for this blog is a sales pitch; The Gramophone, that estimable source of all things to do with recorded music, has given Capriol Films a nice review. This is for our DVD of "A Salaried Wit - Grossmith, Gilbert and Sullivan", a one hour documentary with performance written and presented by the multi talented Simon Butteriss.

Simon is the modern day version of George Grossmith, Gilbert and Sullivan's original "patterman" and comic inspiration and, at the risk of sounding big headed, I believe the film is excellent. (I would do, I produced and directed it). If you haven't sampled it already, why not go to the Capriol home page, and then to the Salaried Wit page and download some excerpts. Excited by these and fuelled by the Gramophone review, you will doubtless want to purchase the DVD, which you can do by hitting the link from our website.

That's it for sales talk, tomorrow I will revert to neutral analysis of something more altruistic, whilst quietly dreaming that music and arts fans the world over will buy "A Salaried Wit" and enable Simon and I to get cracking on our next collaboration, details to be revealed in due course.
