6. FESTIVALS, COMPETITIONS, SCREENINGS, EXHIBITIONS -


- The Marwood Coffee Shop Virals (expenses/coffee/booze)
It's like a mini Challenge so get involved and keep your hand in before the main event next month! Our home cafe is needing some quick n'quirky adverts. In Rich's own words:

'I'm looking for some viral advertising to promote The Marwood. I'd like it on a smart phone format. So that hopefully it'll get fired all around the world. Whether it's an overdub of Monkey Magic "I've had too much coffeeeeeee money!" or just something completely repulsive, a brick making love to a chicken. You have total carte blanche. I'd like to make people smile, be disturbed and slightly aroused at the same time. Marwood's dad could kick Starbucks dad's Arse.'

'10secs max, your own body weight in coffee and a boozy screening'

8. GENERAL INFO & NEW MEMBERS -


-
Lovely actress/member Phillippa Hammond has passed this onto us also
There is a petition to try and save the theatre where Harold Pinter's first play was staged and one of Alan Ayckbourne's favourites, The Connaught Theatre Worthing.

Perhaps some of you acquired your Equity card there or have performed in Worthing and have fond memories

Due to the cuts Worthing Theatres will no longer exist and part of the Repertory Circuit will disappear forever
This will not only be detrimental to you the Actor but all the wonderful technical staff and back room people will suffer SO

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION http://saveworthingtheatres.co.uk


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


If you cannot attend our Sunday Meetings at 6pm upstairs at the Marwood, please post your info before Tuesday morning to be included in the Weekly Bulletin. You can also add new information directly onto the BFC website http://filmcoalition.co.uk/

Extra news throughout the week can be posted on the website and our two Facebook pages. No naughty stuff please... that means all expenses
paid and feeding people if you're crewing/casting.

If I have missed any news or details please blame someone else or let me know so I can get the correct information out.
