Posted: 19 Jun 2012 02:34 AM PDT Latest items on our website include: speakers' notes from our film funds session; dozens of opportunities for filmmakers; news from the industry; and our 'Day of Turbulence' for Birmingham City University. Also, we're working to improve our messageboards - more soon. http://www.producersforum.org.uk/producers-forum/  The Producers' Forum - Connecting and Developing the Creative Industries in Birmingham and beyond -. www.producersforum.org.uk Thanks to feedback that our website's forums and messageboards were a bit confusing, we're now trying out a different system for our discussion boards. Previously, we needed to add you to the All Members Group or the Open Access Group, and you needed to navigate through those to find the right place... |

| Road Trip West Midlands: finding the West Midlands Dream? Posted: 18 Jun 2012 05:15 AM PDT In March 2012, artist Chris Poolman and creative writer Mark Ellis undertook the Turning Point West Midlands Road Trip commission. Here are their selected journeys through the region modelled on three great American literary journeys, producing a website and a collection of short stories and other writings. The great American stories channelled through their West Midlands' journeys included The Grapes of Wrath, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Mississippi Solo. You can visit their website HERE. Chris Poolman has produced a 'choose your own adventure' narrative website: As a great adventurer and pioneer of West Midlands Travel Literature, you are often forced to make many decisions. Most decisions are life and death situations. The website will test your decision making skills. You and you alone are responsible for your fate. To view the work, click HERE
To read an introduction to Mark Ellis' work on this project, click HERE. His stories will be released in an e-book in September and you can sign up here to receive one. The first 10 people to collect the titles of the pieces and email them to Mark will receive a handmade copy of the collection. In the meantime, those of you with Android mobile phones can access an essay and story through this QR code:
This does not mean that the quest for the West Midlands Dream is over, nor does it spell the end for the Road Trip. Plans are afoot to develop the project further. We will keep you updated on their progress. Many thanks to the artist, writer, and our partner Writing West Midlands.
