Trailer: “Reawakening” – a new film written and directed by Virginia Gilbert

“Reawakening, starring Jared Harris, Juliet Stevenson and Erin Doherty, is the powerful, psychologically piercing and searingly emotional second feature from BAFTA-nominated writer-director Virginia Gilbert.” (Facebook)

Some of you might remember when Virginia Gilbert’s short story “Winter Lambing” won the Willesden Herald short Story competition in 2012, as judged by Roddy Doyle. There is even a video of the awards presentation at the old Willesden Library Centre [with Mourny three sheets to the wind. Ed]

Reawakening had its US premiere at the Newport Beach film festival last week and has already been nominated for awards and included in other film festivals.

Copying/moving from Blogger to WordPress

It's a sad day in many ways. This Blogger site is in the process of moving to WordPress, which can be reached by the Willesden Herald .com domain name. There are over 9800 posts here, according to the import utility. The move will mean that the New Short Stories and Willesden Herald will all be on one site. The export/import process claims to include all content and comments but I know very well that there will be disruption, if not complete chaos. So this Blogger site will remain as it is until the Mahamanvantara or some tycoon buys it and ruins it.* It's been quite a ride, as they say, though with a different meaning in my native Ireland. Thanks to everyone who visited, commented, contributed words. (Steve) 

* Problems: 

• Most of the posts ported to the WordPress blog rely photos that still reside on Blogger and/or Google photos.
• Ported comments are all attributed to "Anonymous" but they have their chosen handles on here.
