Edit: Well done Sam! Check RoanokeTrip.com for update on the Roanoke Premiere!! 3 screenings in one week.
Ok, so on the day of the Premiere my train got stuck due to flooding and I missed it.
Yesterday, on my way to Bideford, I got stuck in traffic for about an hour due to an accident on the M5, and so arrived at about 2.40 instead of 1.30, and therefore missed the first half of the film!!
Also, as a result of this, I didn't have time to take any pictures or record any video, but there are pictures of the day which should be sent to me, and then I will post them when they are.
The film seemed to go down well (despite some slight historical inaccuracies!) and there is even talk of holding another screening!
I know Bertie has said that this blog will be continued on their Roanoke Trip, but I thought that if anyone is still checking this one, I'd let you know about a screening taking place tomorrow.
Basically, the guys who are in the U.S. (Bertie, Dan, Jenna and Shane) will be screening the film in Roanoke, and we will also be holding a screening in Bideford in Devon (I think!). Myself and some of the other cast and crew will be travelling down for this, and I am going to try to get some video footage of the day (anything they can do!) or at least some photo's, that I will put up tomorrow evening on this blog!
I hope those of you who were at the premiere enjoyed the film, I am looking forward to seeing it for the first time as I couldn't make the premiere because of the bad weather stopping my train, and I am so annoyed about it!
Anyway lets hope the weather is ok for tomorrow or I still won't get to see it!
Edit: Online Video of London Tonight news report - Here
Last night was the first (and for one night only) premiere of Roanoke: The Lost Colony. The cast and crew reunited once more. It was a great evening and with so many people in attendance the waiting area in front of screen 1 was very full. We have had so many wonderful comments and thoughts about the film from those who came to see it. It's really nice to get such amazing positive feedback from everyone.
Here's a few photos of our special day:

We had a lovely phone call today from London Tonight the flagship news program on ITV for the greater london region who have asked about our film. We will be doing an interview with at the Ritzy Cinema tomorrow and fingers crossed our story will be broadcast to millions just a few hours before the premiere and our trip out to America (which can now be viewed on RoanokeTrip.com). This will be the first large news broadcaster to pick up our stories although if you are in the Croyden area today you will be able to see a great article in the Advertiser who have followed up on our film (online version may be available soon). We have heard that the Virginia Post would also like to publish our story (however we'll let you know more when it happens) and fingers crossed this is just the beginning as we head out to publicize the film across America and the UK. I've said it before but I'll say it again, it wouldn't be possible without the hours of effort and support from everyone, so as we stand on the eve of the premiere, thank you to all.
p.s. - if we do get on London Tonight i'll try and post a video of it on here later (for those outside London)
Just a few days now until the premiere - www.RoanokeMovie.com! but in the mean time...
