Just a reminder that the winning film will be announced and screened at the Odeon on Sunday 26 October as part of an event called ‘Into the Light – A Celebration of Sir Michael Balcon and the City’s Film Heritage‘
Tickets are free, just contact Roger at www.swishproductions.co.uk.
There are several places where you can see all the films:
- They’re all online and viewable here
- They will be played on a loop on the screens in the Atrium area of Millennium Point over the weekend of Hello Digital
- There will be a special Film Dash screening event. I should be able to confirm where/when that will be tomorrow.
- I’m also going to produce DVDs with all the films on for all the team members

All the news that’s fit to post:
- Another team has entered the fray! Trai This have become the 5th team to register. I know of a couple of other teams looking to get involved soon too.
- Film Dash has got more people talking – Nicky Getgood at Digbeth is Good gave Film Dash a mention, as did Pete Ashton on the Custard Factory blog. Podnosh gave a little tweet too.
- Meanwhile, the search for some sort of trophy continues.
I’ve had a couple of questions come in too. Here are the answers:
- The ‘5 team members’ restriction relates to behind-the-camera folk only. You’re cast can be as big as you like so if you’re planning an epic then go for it. Just remember that ‘talent’ can slow you down.
- I can only guarantee that the winning film will be screened at the Odeon on Sunday 26 October. If there’s enough demand (and films) then I’d love to screen them all somewhere. Unfortunately I have neither the budget nor the time to sort anything like that at the moment. I’m open to offers though…
Over the next few days I’ll be finalising arrangements for the launch on Friday 17th. I’m also going to be passing on a little info about Michael Balcon, his work and why Film Dash fits in so well with a celebration of his legacy.

A few updates for you today:
- The rules can be seen here. They might look like they go on a bit but they’re mainly common sense. They also incorporate the terms of the public filming permit that Matthew Stanton from Film Birmingham has been working (very hard) to secure. All teams will have to sign a copy of these rules at the launch.
- Details of the Michael Balcon – Into The Light event at the Odeon are up on the Hello Digital site (that’s where the winning film will be announced and screened). Tickets are free so go forth and reserve em.
- Two more teams have registered! A big hello to Stickleback Productions (who may well be open to other people joining in) and Team TTV.
- Ed Moore has Twittered to offer his steadicam expertise to anyone who might need it.
- Big thanks to Jon at Birmingham: It’s Not Shit and Ian at 7 Inch Cinema for spreading the good word of Film Dash.
Finally, I’m thinking of trying to obtain a trophy for the winning team. It’d have to be something a little… different though. We’ll see.
