With the snow gone, we were out and about filming this month - but close to base. We shot inspections of renovated homes for young mums in Keighley, and a very lively clients' consultation in Halifax, both for Horton Housing Association. We are researching and scheduling a new DVD for this multi-service agency, and plan to hand over much of the on-screen presentation to the people who use the suppport services themselves. So, instead of creating 'top-down' messaging we hope to build more of a grassroots voice. Fingers crossed. Edit suite two is still full of rugby players - well, the Oxford University Rugby DVD is about to go to final edit - and edit one is about to be filled with Cambridge rugby. Our support for Save the Children currently involves post-production on a DVD outlining possible future volunteer strategy, and also some creative input to the charity's election lobbying. Child poverty in the UK is a political football that must not be kicked into the long grass.

New Year Greetings All - we are in for a month of post-production, with edits underway on the two sponsorship DVDs for Oxford and Cambridge rugby clubs (the thigh's the limit gals) to preliminary editing of the Travellers' Tales for theatrical release. Not to mention some very technical writing which may not light up the sky, but certainly keeps the lights turned on, if you know what we mean. John is off to sunny (shurely shome mistake) Derbyshire to learn all about Save The Children for a few days, but what we want to know is who's going to save HIM from his children?? We'll keep you posted folks, meantime good luck with those resolutions.

From international harmony last month, to sporting excellence in November - we've begun production on a new promotional film for Oxford University RUFC, and completed a day filming at the historic Major Stanley's XV match. Not to ignore the other tradition, we have filmed at Keighley Cougars Rugby League ground for a film on community work and sponsorship.
Work with the Rohynga continues, and the Save the Children Brighter Futures Bullying DVD gets its northern premiere in Middlesborough in December - following a successful screening in London.

Four weeks of solid work with the Rohynga team at Horton Housing culminated in a civic celebration of integration at the Hilton. Partners from the council, health and education authorities, along with UKBA and the Government office, joined Rohynga community members to commemorate what's been achieved. The evening included a performance by the children of a traditional dance, plus several speeches by Ronhynga representatives. This community has been so badly abused over the years, and this was an event that left everyone moved and thrilled. Our four films captured the reality of Burma, life in the refugee camps, the experiences of arrival in the UK, and finally, how this new community is taking its place alongside the many others in Bradford.

The filming has continued through August, and we are now concentrating on the stories we need to build the main programme. Irene's decision to leave travelling and become a 'house-dweller' so that her son can go to school has tested her loyalties.
Editing starts in two weeks, so there's still shooting to complete. Meanwhile the online / web support is in development. Multi-lingual producers are hard to find, but we seem to be winning!
