Since the launch of KBS Films' website on Monday no fewer than 38 more people from Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor have signed up to support the project. Thank you! The pace is gathering and the wheels of the planning juggernaut are starting to turn. The next official village meeting about the film is on 14th of May but if you want to get involved sooner, check out the 'Volunteer!' section on the left. |

If you wanted to make up a name for a really impressive producer, something that sounded rather exotic but with an undercurrent of power and influence, you'd probably come up with something like Steff Aquarone. That is indeed the name of the producer of this film who is in real life rather exotic, fantastically charming and immensely organised. He'll be supervising the massive logistical effort of putting the film together, ably assisted by a growing team from the village. He'll also be running this website from day to day so you'll soon be hearing a lot more from him. |

You can't hope to make a film without a website, especially if you want to encourage a whole village to get involved. After our meeting we had fantastic offers of help with the website including Jill Muir and Paul Young who do other great sites around the village. Jill and Paul very kindly stepped aside and have volunteered for other duties. Amazing! The site will be developing fast and it will become the main place for everyone to find out what's happening when and where especially as we get into the shooting during the summer. Your feedback, suggestions, content and photos are always welcome. |

One of the first major breakthroughs in the film was finding someone to help with the music. In some films, for example Jaws or Psycho the music becomes an iconic part of the film, but there isn’t a single film where music isn’t hugely important. Music paints an emotional picture faster than the pictures themselves – in fact you can see two identical pieces of film and feel completely different about them depending on the music. That’s why having great music is a vital part of making a film. That’s also why we are absolutely chuffed to bits when, thanks to Chris Carpenter in the village, we were introduced to Geoff Cottrell a real live composer, based in Oxford. Geoff writes music for films, music publishers, and original commissions for vocal, choral and concert music. He has volunteered to write the entire score for the film which is an amazingly generous thing to do, especially as he is not short of other more profitable things to do. Have a listen to some of his music on his website www.geoffcottrell.com and I think you’ll agree that we really have a lot to look forward to. Thanks Geoff. |
