Welcome to our Blog!
Glad you could join us :)
1. CASTING/CREWING -
-- Help Support a Leeds Feature
From our Leeds Branch in case anyone can help or at least support by liking the project on facebook.
My name is Greig Johnson and I have been writing, directing and producing independent digital shorts and music videos for ten years. I now have a feature length script for a low budget, Yorkshire-based comedy (one reader said 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' collides with 'The Royal Tennenbaums', in Harrogate) and am looking for a producer with whom to form a creative partnership. The project primarily requires budgeting before we can begin fundraising.
In 2004, my film Hilarity was shortlisted for the BBC Talent New Filmmaker Award and Best UK Short at Leeds International Film Festival. Most recently, my adaptation of William Burroughs' MR BRADLEY MR MARTIN HEAR US THROUGH THE HOLE IN THIN AIR was nominated for Best Yorkshire Short at both Leeds and Hull International Film Festivals 2010, as well as screening at Raindance, the Zebra Poetry Film Festival in Berlin, the Fantasia genre festival in Montreal and Odense International Film Festival in Denmark.

6. FESTIVALS, COMPETITIONS, SCREENINGS, EXHIBITIONS -
- Marwood Cafe Virals (expenses/coffee/booze)
Its like a mini Challenge so get involved and keep your hand in before the main event next month!
Our home Cafe is needing some quick'n'quirky adverts...in Rich's own words...
'I'm looking for some viral advertising to promote Marwood. I'd like it on a smart phone format. So that hopefully it'll get fired all around the world. Whether it's an overdub of Monkey Magic "I've had too much coffeeeeeee monkey!" or just something completely repulsive, a brick making love to a chicken. You have total carte blanche. I'd like to make people smile, be disturbed and slightly aroused at the same time.
'marwood's dad could kick Starbucks dad's Arse.'
'10secs max, your own body weight in coffee and a boozy screening'
