New Entrant of Freelance, Glasgow
Participated in CROSSOVER NEW ENTRANTS' PROGRAMME

I am a Glasgow base artist filmmaker and my work references a range of subjects, from contemporary social issues and political systems, to notions of escapism. I am especially interested in the current wave of filesharing and remixing.

Help! Our Children Are Pirates is a new project currently in the very early stages of development. The potential for what it might become is unlimited! This is because the whole project will be open source under the Creative Commons License. Any media uploaded is intended to be shared and used by anyone.

Thus far the film and music industry seems to have responded negatively to what they have branded as “piracy.”  Should industries still be making money from copyright laws initially designed to protect the individual artist?

Crossover Summit @ Sheffield Doc/Fest 2010

Following the success of last year's inaugural Crossover Summit, Doc/Fest is hosting the event again in collaboration with Crossover Labs.

The 2010 Summit features keynotes and case studies from world class speakers from the UK and abroad as well as in-depth 'round table' discussions on specific topics. Highlights include a focus on the challenges of international co-production, the financing and developing of crossmedia projects, a masterclass in raising funds for social enterprises and using digital technologies for social good or public service. 

There will also be a special showcase of how archives, museums and galleries are exploiting new platforms to enhance public access to launch a new Crossover Lab programme designed to forge collaborations between film-makers, games, web or mobile developers and archive holders.

Standard Pass: £230 + VAT (This is a full Doc/Fest Delegate pass which includes access to the full festival as well as the Crossover Summit)

Crossover Summit Day Pass: £150 + VAT ( This pass will get you in to the Crossover Summit on Wednesday 3 November 2010 ONLY)
