Interview with Geoff Haden, Curator of The Dylan Thomas Birthplace

...... Film : 'On My Way To Hollywood' ......

' Visual Deck' of images for my Film about Dylan Thomas

and Igor Stravinsky, and the Opera on which they were collaborating in 1953.

Images designed to give a 'flavour; of the Film which is not intended as a literary biopic but as an examination of the last few frantic months in the life of a literary genius and flawed human being, as he struggled, one last time, to 'crack it' and achieve financial security

And failed.

The Opera about the End of The World was 'a bridge too far'

But Dylan went down 'fighting' , albeit often fighting his own familiar 'demons' much of the time

Letter of support for 'On My Way To Hollywood'

Roger shared the Screenplay with me several months ago, and I was impressed by its themes and depth of understanding, especially when dealing with the previously under-represented planned collaboration with the composer Igor Stravinsky and their planned Opera project.

The 'build-up' in Wales before his final trip America in 1953 has never been examined in detail, and in Roger's excellent Screenplay I sense a true ‘Poet to Poet’ understanding of a creative genius who remains an internationally iconic character, as well as a truly flawed Soul

Roger was friendly with Dylan’s daughter Aeronwy, with whom he used to give Poetry readings in Wales and beyond.

I very much hope the Film finds its full financing and wide outlets.
