George Carson is an actor, writer and director based in Comrie, Perthshire. After a successful career in the Fire Service, he has written and produced several plays and short films. His short film ‘Just Gemma’ was a winner at the Hollywood New Cinema Film Festival in 2015 and ‘Spotted Dick’ received a special mention at the London/Worldwide Comedy Film Festival 2017. GetMeLovedUp.com is his first feature film.
I was inspired to write this film after chatting to a friend about real internet dating disasters which we had both experienced.
Once the writing began, new characters emerged and story lines twisted together to form a well rounded package. As the writer and director, I had a crystal-clear idea of the relationships between the characters and how I wanted the film to look.
The film is entirely self-funded apart from a small percentage which was raised by Crowdfunding, I am very grateful to everyone who donated either their time or money to the project. I made sure everyone on cast and crew were fully paid.
There were many challenges as there was only myself and Susan Holoran as producers. This meant we had to do absolutely everything as I could not afford to pay for outside specialist help.
The project has taken almost two years to complete, although the main block of filming was completed in less than three months, shooting in Scotland and France.
The editing was an enormous challenge, in spite of the great care we took to ensure high quality filming and audio recording on set.
I am very happy with the end result and hope it brings joy to others.
