[OccupyComms] Occupy UK Film idea

[Buth Vanessa Ms (PSI)]

Hi Jon,

Great idea. I think a closed facebook group would also be a good place for discussion, a mailing list could potentially be flooding people's inboxes, depending on how many participate.

Can I suggest the Muse - Resistance album as possible (part of the) soundtrack? It seems to have been written for occupy. In particular the Uprising: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYRGjMSUoU8

I'll forward your email to our group. Hope you get lots of support! 

Best

Vanessa

>Hello all,

>them.
>2) When finished it will be a great promotional tool along with a great

>My initial idea was to have an 'Occupy Cinema' day where we get local

>issues. Like "The Corporation", "Who killed the electric car" from the
>docu/film side along with some of the great mini-series that have been
>on BBC/C4 recently. Finishing off with the main feature, this film.

>It could also be a money spinner to bring in cash to help better fund
