For like the 1 of you who care (that being me) I have changed my YouTube name to Running Gag Reflex, as my previous YouTube name, Brean Naan, no one could properly spell. Either way, you should probably subscribe to it if you haven't, as that's where all my new original videos end up, as well as some of my old stuff.

Here's a trailer for an upcoming documentary I am working on, about the making of a short super 8 sci-fi film made here in Maitland back in winter of last year (which if you live in Maitland you probably know much about already). With lots of footage at hand, and new developments regarding the sci-fi films creation, I have no real idea when this will be finished. So please enjoy the trailer in the meantime.
