A personal message from David:19th October 2005

Greetings all!

Freedom! I've got no more galaxy's to save, no grumpy retorts to tort (whatever that means) and more importantly no techno to babble.

I've had another incredible year with Stargate Atlantis but I could sure use the break! That said I've thrown myself immediately into the process of putting together a movie. It will star the talented Mr. McGillion, my evil sister Kate Hewlett and myself. Jane is producing. The plan is to shoot up at our house in January. Lots of work as I've written it and also plan on directing. That said it's a dark comedy that I think that you all may get a chuckle out of...keep you posted.

I've had my trusty Dalek "cat" at my side (actually in my trailer, taking up all the prime real estate!) all year now and I just wanted to thank everyone involved personally...well, as personal as email via websites can be (feel the love people!):

I hope I got everyone, if not then make some noise and make me feel bad.

I can't believe the trouble and expense you all went to, I was, and still am very touched!

That said, and I hope this doesn't sound ungrateful, but from now on in...NO MORE PRESENTS!

I'm serious, I love that you care, I love that you write, but if you're going to spend money then spend it on something worthwhile that can make a difference. My favorite are these guys:
 

www.doctorswithoutborders.org

...they will put your dollars to much better use than I ever could. For those of you who send or sent or are planning on sending letters

via the studio, I love it, and I do write back (it takes forever, but I do try to respond to everyone). But if you want me to send signed photos DON'T SEND me those international postage coupons! Save the money and send it to Doctors Without Borders.

ANY MONEY YOU WANT TO SPEND ON ME, SPEND ON DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS.

okay I'll stop SHOUTING now!

Being the geek that I am, I got so nervous about whether the "film" camera was actually going to turn out or not. I finally gave up, decided

to sleep at night, and took the photos digitally...hope you don't mind?! Following is a selection that Jane felt weren't TOO hideous to

show!

Lots of Love and Thanks and Daleks and Snarkasm and I told you so's

David Hewlett
