Toby Roberts, is a local film director who presented our Lunch Time Show Off! back in 2011. He sent us this link for his short film SPOILT BROTH.
A naive, desperate man and a ruthless criminal attempt to rob a post office at the same time.
The film is current being showcased on the 180 Microcinema Festival site and Toby is asking y’all to view it, like it, tweet and vote for it online.
The 180 Microcinema Festival celebrates the range and diversity of filmmakers in an online and connected world. Harnessing digital mediums they are transmitting 180-second entries to screens worldwide.
This online international festival encourages, empowers, and promotes creative expression and web-based work by showcasing original voices to foster a dynamic online filmmaking culture.
There are loads of films on the site and we encourage you to view and support the brilliant talent. Winning filmmakers will be awarded production funds of £30,000 to collaborate on 180-second films as pitches for a Transmedia Development Deal. Plus they will receive significant exposure to international film industry leaders, and be flown in to attend the Awards ceremony at the Power Plant Cinema of the Rockwell Center in the heart of Metro Manila, Philippines. Oh yes.

On Thursday 27th October 2011 Colchester Circle magazine celebrated it’s one year anniversary with a big celebration at 15 Queen Street.
We teamed up with our resident members to present our usual networking event - Creative in Colchester, but this time celebrating this superb local magazine. Members of the building, contributors, supports and friends were invited to enjoy music, drinks and a talk from the people behind the magazine - Ana and Howard.

BÖIKZMÖIND
We were shown BÖIKZMÖIND from flexi member Matt Keeling. This is a 30 minute documentary film about riding fixed gear bikes in beautiful Bristol.
This isn’t one of your usual fixie films, this delves a bit deeper and shows the diverse cross section of riders and asks why ride bikes with no gears in a city full of hills. It also shines a light on the community and camaraderie that comes with the simple joy of riding bicycles.
This is an small excerpt from the finished film, which is now screening all over the world. We are very excited to spot that there will be a showing at the Bike Guru Cafe & Workshop in Colchester. It’s TBC, but we’re still very excited.
There will be a DVD accompanied by a photo book coming out soon. You can register your interest here.
