VERY SHORT NOTICE, but the Local Shorts Film Club is on tonight at 7pm at the Library Theatre. What makes it extra special is that the Brothers McLeod’s BAFTA nominated short ‘Codswallop’ will be screened there tonight!
Dropped a bit of a clanger here as I posted an early reminder for this event over a month ago.
Sorry ’bout that.
Really interesting opportunity for some filmmakers who aretrying to bulk up their portfolio here, via Created in Birmingham. Sorry to Chris Unitt for just ripping this off, but he does a pretty good sell here:
One of the best events I went to last year was Kala Phool’s Mother India: 21st Century Remix – a live re-scoring of the Bollywood classic that blew me away. I’ve wittered on about it on my blog.
I was really pleased to hear that the musicians will be in the studio (in Birmingham) next week to record the soundtrack and Kala Phool are trying to put together a national tour for later in the year.
Kala Phool are after a film maker to make a kind of video ‘calling card’ for this. However, the bad news is there’s no budget available for the work. I must say I don’t tend to like posting these sorts of requests but I’m making an exception in this case.
If you’re still interested:
- Filming will happen on Fri/Sat 16-17 January at studios in Aston near The Drum
- They need some short interviews with the people involved and some footage of the band in the studio
- There’s plenty of footage from the live shows already
- They’re looking for something like the video of The Bays and Heritage Orchestra at the Liverpool Phil
- The finished piece will be needed by the end of January
If you can help then email Indy Hunjan at indy@kalaphool.com or call her on 07977 449052.
Here’s a little taster of what they’ve done:
