    Chartered Institute of Housing

    Monday, December 17th, 2007

    CIH

    This week saw the launch of the CIH Conference and Housing Exhibition site we created for the Chartered Institute of Housing and their event organisers, Ocean Media Group. The event – taking place in Harrogate this June – boasts a strong line-up of speakers, including Rt. Hon. Michael Portillo, Diane Abbott MP, David Smith – Economics Editor of the Sunday Times and leading US Economist David Shepherdson.
    The CIH is the professional body for people working in housing across the UK and its conference and exhibition is the UK’s ultimate housing event. With Gordon Brown announcing an £8bn investment in housing in his first spending review, the conference will look at how the sector can deliver the government’s objective of decent and affordable housing for all.
    Working closely with our partners at FoxLand, the site was built using WordPress and includes online booking functionality. More exciting functionality will be added to the site as the event draws closer – so watch this space!

    Zebra Crossing Film Screening – A Double Premiere

    Saturday, December 1st, 2007

    Room 32Last night saw the first public screening of Nic Franklin’s latest short film, Room 32.
    Played to a full house of cast, crew and invited guests at the Rex Cinema, Piccadilly the film which is inspired by the Jim Morrison poem Room 32 was well received. It’s an emotional piece where the main character is a schizophrenic battling with his inner demons. The lead role is played superbly by Mark Dymond, (James Bond – Die Another Day; Blackball; Dungeons & Dragons; Northanger Abbey). Thanks go to everyone involved.

    Also screened for the first time was the recently completed Music Promo for the fantastic new London Band ‘The Standards’. Filmed in two separate locations, we hired a full size Circus tent and performers during the summer of 07, completing filming in November at Big Sky studios in London’s Kings Cross. The band are performing to their single ‘Needless to Say’ in a ghoulish early 1900’s surrounding.

    Directed by Nic Franklin and produced by Luke Hammersley, big thanks go to the band and all involved, but especially to DoP Joel Anderson and compositors Marc Khachfe and Siobhan Bowers who worked incredibly hard to produce such fantastic results. The promo has been entered into various film festivals around the world… watch this space.
