So yesterday was meant to be the day I was meeting with Debbie Bryan and hopefully Amanda Briggs-Goode.
I sent several emails to both parties over the half term break, hoping to get some confirmation that April 12th is still a good day to film.
As of yet, I have received no reply from either Debbie or Amanda. At the moment I can only assume that Amanda and Debbie are too busy to commit to filming. Past meetings with Debbie have had to been made a month in advance and I unfortunately do not think I will have enough time to take these delays into consideration and finish my film on time. While Amanda is more available to meet, I have not heard back from her and can only assume she is too busy with her work to afford time to film.
This puts me in a bit of a tricky position, in the respect that up until now the core of my documentary work has revolved around meeting with the both of them and I will not be able to meet deadlines if I delay filming any further.

I have proposed then to alter the course of my project in a way that will allow me to film and meet deadlines set by the course and various film festivals.
The nature of my project will change to the matter that it will still be a documentary piece, but set around a different subject.
I have been writing an alternative documentary piece that is still set in Nottingham but does not concern the lace industry.
The project I have been working on is called 'Student Living' and is a short sub 10 minute piece, that gets to know four different students and their thoughts / opinions on university life.
I have put forward an alternative proposal that takes into consideration this alternative project, and hope it reflects an evolution in this journey, that has been unexpected, but well accommodated. This proposal will be documented in my next blog entry.
