Films wanted!

Now that we're so very close to our crowdfunding total, we need to get the ball rolling with ESPTV in earnest. What we need is content from new filmmakers to show alongside our own. We're particularly interested in those of you from the East of the UK, from East Anglia up to South Yorkshire, but anywhere in the UK or beyond will be considered. If you have a film/animation/documentary and you have either:
 a. paid your cast and crew
 b. have a deferred contract in place
 c. Have not employed anyone other than yourself making your piece
Then we'd like to hear from you. We're asking people to adhere to this because it is an ethic that we believe in ourselves and we'd like to encourage good practice in the creative community.

 In return, you will receive a healthy percentage of the advertising revenue that your piece brings in. No fees, no lengthy tie-ins, no buying up of rights. Small filmmakers don't have many outlets for showing their films outside of expensive film festivals and even fewer opportunities to make money. Let's try and change that!

Send your films to:
 Ermine Street Project CIC
Sparkhouse Studios
Rope Walk
Lincoln
LN6 7DQ

 Or send us an e-mail at info@erminestreetproject.co.uk if you would like more detailed information.

Nearly there!

Good news folks! We only need another £300 and we will have made our crowdfunding target! How cool is that?! Huge thanks to all the generous individuals so far who have made this happen.

We can do it!!

Creative England outcome

Sorry to say that despite a fantastic proposal (although I do say so myself) we were unsuccessful with our grant application to Creative England's Film Network fund.
Not the end of the world just yet, as we are still trying to raise £2000 through www.buzzbnk.org/esp
We need donations now more than ever. Can you help...?

Can you spare a quid?

Now it's even easier to donate to our crowdfunding campaign...
You can now donate via Paypal! Any Paypal funds will be transferred to the Buzzbnk total by Ermine Street Project at the end of March.
Visit:www.buzzbnk.org/esp

for more details on the campaign.
As an added incentive, all those that donate £1.00 before midnight on 31st March get entered into a competition to win a pair of tickets to our launch party (normally this requires a donation of £50!)
To enter the competition, you need to answer this question:
What does "CIC" stand for in Ermine Street Project CIC"?
Click on the "donate" button at the bottom of this page and you'll be directed to Paypal's secure site.
Put your competition answer in the "add special instructions to the seller" section on the Paypal payment page. It's that easy! Or if you just want to donate without entering the competition, then simply follow the normal Paypal procedure.

20 days to go...

That's right folks, only 20 days to raise our target of £2000 for our internet TV Channel. Can we do it? Of course we can! Keep your eyes peeled for more ways to get involved.
Remember to visit
https://www.buzzbnk.org/ProjectDetails.aspx?projectId=63 if you haven't already to donate a tenner to help us on our way.
We might not know the outcome of our Creative England application until after our crowdfunding campaign has finished so it's vital we get something on the balance sheet so we can launch in May.
Tell everyone you know and spread the word!
Thanks!

"My World" project comes to a close

Many thanks to everyone at the Kinema in the Woods, Woodhall Spa for hosting our special screening of the work completed this final term at St Christopher's and The Pheonix Schhol.
All who attended thoroughly enjoyed the day and special thanks to Wendy at Lincolnshire County Council for handing out certificates to the schools.
It's been a fantastic project and it would be brilliant to do it again.

Crowdfunding... spread the word!

Our crowdfunding campaign is up and running:
www.buzzbnk.org/esp

We're hoping to raise £2000 to get ESPTV running by the end of Spring 2012. We need your help! Donate a tenner, (or more!) to get the channel contructed, or simply spread the work to everyone you know.
We can do it!!
