hi

how are you? we've had a busy time lately...

world pollination

we went to slovenia to sprinkle the seeds of straight 8 at golden drum ad festival, courtesy of our friends at kodak.

will and ed told the story of straight 8 and shocked and wowed the crowd with a selection of awesome straight 8 entries from the back catalogue.

and of course, challenged them to enter

and we met diana from archive magazine who's now a media partner for s8 2012 - thanks archive!

we 'virtually' attended a screening at amherst..... in massachussetts, usa. thanks alexandra hall for helping put that together

we've been to goldsmiths college film society and various london ad agencies laying down the gauntlet

next stops on our plans for world pollination: poland for the camerimage festival, and our friends andrea and vincent will screen straight 8 once again in nice, france at rencontres. plus paris TONIGHT - see below

contact us if you'd like to bring straight 8 to your city, company, school, whatever - either for real or virtually - we can arrange it
