Stormhoek and Hallam Foe are closer than one might think - both are creative efforts seeking a market of reasonable size (I hesitate to say "mass market").

Problem is, when you live an interesting life there usually isn't a lot of *time* to write it all down. You've been doing a kick-ass job the last bunch of years at managing to do both. Sure, there's been the occasional dry period, but if you're sleeping more than an hour a day in addition to everything else, I think you're doing just fine.

(Note: I have no idea what Hallam Foe is about, but 'guess' it is a growing-up angst movie). Some formulas are timeless, some formulas are rebranded, and other formulas just don't taste good. Steal the best, sidestep the rest. Call me a cynic (many do), but it could be worth casting your eye over this before comitting to a final cut.
