June 7, 2012 Hi Somehow I didn't send out last month's newsletter, despite it being ready to go, so I'll send it out tomorrow or Friday instead.Shooting on Skyfall is now over and the film has now entered its post production phase - it seems a long wait until release, but hopefully we still have more trailers to look forward to and any more info that leaks out will be reported on the website, on our Facebook page (click the link and click LIKE to join), via Twitter and through this newsletter (when I remember to send it!). I hope you like it, don't forget to leave a comment on the website or Facebook, or email me direct.
Until next time,
