Resting on your laurels
Oscars (registered trademark) eat your heart out. We here at the People’s Republic of South Devon are up for a prize at the Plymouth Media Partnership innovation awards for our Melting Pot sessions in association with AEON and Trilogy - have a listen on the downloads page, they’re good.
Sharing our category is something from the Plymouth Herald and a bunch of monied others as well as a rather nifty offering from Plymouth Music Zone. But enough about the competition (go Plymouth Music Zone - if not us, you), how about a shout out to the people who we know and love who’ve also made it to the finals.
Blind Ditch, those nomads of bringing film to the masses - both making and watching - are shortlisted. And the Exeter Phoenix media centre has had a hand or two in some of the entries - last year’s bursary winners being up for best films by Emma Kempton and Dave Shaerf, who are also up for best newcomers along with Yolanda Grigorenko (who has hung around the Phoenix too, apparently).
So, huzzah to them. We know them, or we feel we know them. And to the rest… well, good luck. As long as we’re all working together to make the People’s Republic of South Devon an even better, even more vibrant place to live, work and be creative, who are we to split hairs over relative worth of projects?
Oh, did I mention we’re up against major sponsors of the event too? You’ve got to be stoical about these things.
See you on the rostrum…
