I recently won a contract to deliver a REALLY exciting project for the Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle. The Tyneside Time Machine is an alternate reality game aimed at engaging 9-12 year olds in the heritage of this terrific independent cinema. The story centres on a girl who’s been transported into the past by a dicky projector at the cinema and the kids have to help get her back home. So The Wizard Of Oz meets Back To The Future. There’ll be online elements, original and archive film material, as well as a narrative journey through the building itself. It’s going to launch in early 2011, and will run for three years taking in somewhere in the region of 130 school visits. I’m currently putting together the creative team and will post more details here in the coming weeks.

Dawn and The Living Dad - the project I worked on with young filmmakers from Stockton in the summer of 2010 - has been nominated for Best Drama at the Firstlight Awards 2011. Its one of only four films chosen from dozens across the country and the winner will be announced at a sparkly ceremony at the Odeon Leicester Square on March 15th. Judges include James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, everyone’s favourite pet zombie Nick Park, and the rather scrumptious Sienna Miller. Oh and some guy called Terry Gilliam. Needless to say the filmmakers are rather excitable at this time. The film was shot with in a tiny flat over four days with a terrific cast featuring Bill Fellows (pictured) and newcomer Emily Dowson. The grisly make up was done by Laura Tallentire and mentors included Louise Rea, Richard Lawson, Sara Cooper, and Hannah McParlin.
