Martin is currently on a health sabbatical, but is interested in the odd bit of pro-bono work by the way of therapeutic recovery. So, if you’ve anything that he can tackle on a non-commercial basis from his base in Cockermouth please let him know. Unsurprisingly, he’s particularly interest in biology, again, and the application of computing to it.

What’s the Author Up To
As he's a slide-rule ink-pen using freak in a modern world, you'll be interested to know that he's volunteered as a projectionist at the local independent cinema. These places depend upon heavily on the volunteer. And having made several clumsy helper contributions and observed how it's all done, he's now officially on rota. The occasional post about what he's done makes its way to this side-bar.
Apart from All That
- Projected “I Anna”
  April 30, 2013 | 11:17 am
  The Monday Movie at the Kirkgate was made and shown. It’s I, Anna, a sort of throw-back film-noir with a baffled cop and a femme fetale. This needed a fair amount of belief suspension and some plot-hole ignoring, for it was set in a contemporary London. The main idea was that the primary suspect was [...]
- ‘Amour’ Projected
  April 1, 2013 | 11:21 am
  Amour a French film that got a nod at the Oscars was made up and projected. The film was quite depressing and overly long. It basically chronicled the end-of-life trip of an elderly but wealthy woman and her husband’s trials in helping her. Things were never going to end cleverly or happily and the Movie [...]
- In the Booth with Silver Linings
  March 19, 2013 | 11:26 am
  I was in the Booth again, this time for a strange little Rom-Com, with strange mental health overtones, The Silver Linings Playbook. Last week I’d shown The Sapphires, having ‘swapped’ with another projectionist. But I thought I didn’t have anymore on the current roster, then I remember this. The mental health issues, suffered by the [...]
- Saphires on the Silver Screen
  March 12, 2013 | 11:31 am
  I was in the booth for Sapphires which was posted as being a “feel good” movie, but also based on a “True Story”. So, I expected something in that ilk. What we got was indeed, a musical with some jeopardy and 1960′s racial politics lobbed on top. Some of minor plot-lines were a little outlandish [...]
- Beasts Ruined by Scratches
  February 12, 2013 | 11:34 am
  I was in the projection booth at the Kirkgate for Beasts of the Southern Wild. Although one tends to be rather busy, and since it was Reel-to-Reel, quite noisy in the booth, I enjoyed the film. It was certainly quirky, and worth another look. Disappointingly the print was a bit scratched. I also had a [...]
