There is much to celebrate with innovation, not least how us here at The People’s Republic of South Devon and D+CFilm are right at the nose of what’s happening in the south west without even knowing it.
The two films which were shortlisted for the top indy film at the Plymouth Media Partnership’s Media Innovation Award – Revenge of the Jazz Hoodies and Small Change – have already picked up D+CFilm Two Short Nights trophies. In the latest head-to-head it was Revenge of the Jazz Hoodies, scooped the silverware.
Also victorious were friends of the republic South Devon Community Arts collective Means of Production.
The Compton-based collective won the award for Best Interactive DVD for script development work on Think Tank, a science fiction-style CDROM in which primary school children explore weird and wonderful historical objects, led by a team of time-travelling alien anthropologists.
The DVD, which was co-produced by MOP, Maniac Films, the Museum of Barnstaple & North Devon and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter, helps kids get to grips with objects from the museum archives, some of which have not seen the light of day for many years.
MOP director Jon Croose told the PRSD: “It hasn’t quite sunk in yet. It is great to have our work recognised in this way and we hope it will lead to bigger and better things in the future.”
