New Work for 2010

We are very pleased to announce that we are once again working with the theatre Director Hannah Philips on a play entitled ‘Hetrophobia’, which will run at the REP, Birmingham in March, 2010. A tight turnaround but great to be working with her again after the success of ‘The Fear of Queer’ [see last post], which is traveling down to the West End in October 2010 – more news to follow on that soon.

We would also like to welcome Becky Wheeler to the ‘We Make Art’ team. Becky is working with us on this new production and is, as you read this, drawing out hundreds [well lots] of illustrations for the new ‘Hetrophobia’ films, welcome!

The Fear of Queer

During November 2009 we were working flat out on the production of ‘Fear of Queer’ directed by Hannah Philips. We Vjayed the films live in collaboration with the actor’s performances. The run of nights, which were at The Custard Factory Theatre, Birmingham played out to a full-house every night. We are proud to announce that the play is moving top the West End in October 2010, more information to follow.

New Work

We are happy to announce that we have just won a pitch to animate a series of films for Practical Car & Van Hire. They are a nationwide company that started 25 years ago in Brum - so we are more than happy to help them celebrate their silver anniversary by producing a series of films that take you through the 80's, 90's and the (sorry for using this term) the noughties... The films will be used at the birthday celebration as well as virals and adverts. More info and screengrabs soon. 

Rehearsal FOR FEAR OF QUEER

Tonight's rehearsal went well. The actors are really coming together. We need to tighten up on the film side of things but it's looking really strong - tech tomorrow at the actual theatre, which will help enormously with getting the films right in respect to colour and contrast. Just left and caught the train, which is going the long route back to wolves...

We are the only people on the train except for an MP in first class whose names we can't remember... Although I recall he did give back something like £4k's worth of expenses for which he refuses to say what they were for. Probably 1st class tickets back and forth to Landan! Champaign socialist...

hanging on...

Saw this at about 7.30am, which helped set the day up nicely...
