One word, one simple word that can so easily roll off the tongue and shape lives, young or old, for the better.
Or in our case can get us kicked out for being young and stupid and bloody minded!
That word is College.
That is where the Gnome was born. Adam and myself created a monster of madness known as the short film 'Revenge On A
Stick'.
A mixed up tale about a man who seeks revenge and goes about getting it... with a stick.
College was fun, sadly it all ended not even half way through our second year when one of the tutors caught us on the
edit suites and told us very politely to pack up and piss off. There ended our College fun.
With College but a distant memory of unfinished coursework and afternoons sat in the Loaf eating soggy burgers and annoying
people with our jukebox selections, we realised that we had a small problem.
The film we had been editing when we were rudely kicked out. We needed video editing software and we needed it fast.
We found a small studio tucked away in some shagged out stables that would help us with such things and we were able
to finish our College gangster masterpiece ((or so Adam calls it, personally I'd call it a damn good waste of video tape,
but then there's no accounting for taste!)) and to this day we still hound those good people who took us in and to this
day they still let us hire their stuff.
Crazy!
