THE ISLE OF WIGHT LITERARY FESTIVAL 2015

2/11/2015

Once a year, some of the most celebrated literary minds descend upon the sailing town of Cowes, specifically on the historic building Northwood House and the Isle of Wight literary Festival happens. Fours days of celebrities turned authors, authors turned celebrities, scientists turned both and a heap of punters lucky enough to get a ticket.

My wife loves books and last year we were lucky enough to get tickets to a talk by Sheila Hancock, the twinkly eyed legend of stage and screen, and after it was over this is the only video I remember seeing of this amazing event.

And this I filmed for a friend of mine, Jennifer Greenwood, an actor who loves Sheila Hancock, as you can imagine, there was a lot of 'Squee-ing'

Over the two years I've been living on the Isle of wight, this is a pattern that I find repeats itself, Great event happens, nothing gets documented, next year comes round and everyone says that publicity is 'really hard this year' or 'people just don't know about it'. So this year came round and I badgered the committee of the Literary festival to let me film something to highlight how great the event was, 4 months of badgering I did, 4 months of emails, meetings attempted phone calls and in the end, hearing nothing back, I just decided to show up with my cameras and see what happened. In a thousand words, this

This gave me access to all the talks and as long as no one objected, an ability to capture (in my less than humble, misinformed opinion, the best the festival had to offer. With about 7 different interesting looking talks occurring simultaneously, a lot of stuff got missed out, but here's hoping that next year someone realises the possibility and gives me a budget to put a proper team together and do this event justice.
Anyway, on this page are the talks that I caught, including Mary Berry, Michael Morpurgo, Bob Harris, SJ Watson. At some point, I'm also aiming to do a highlight video, once the recovery sets in.

More videos will be added as I finish editing them.

Starting OUT

So since January this year (2014) I have started touting my self as a "video producer". Something I have essentially been doing for the past 5 years (with increasing levels of competence) and now find myself in the perfect opportunity to start as a business.

I've recently moved to the Isle of Wight, following my recently acquired wife who obeying the all powerful order of the NHS, has gone where they've told her. I gave up my job as a Campus minister in London and made a move that prompts a lot of people to say "oooo, that's a bit of a change" to which my stock reply is "yes, but a welcome change". More of that as we go along. But being here has given me some opportunities I might not have otherwise had such as the radio interview above. Went rather well, they invited me back for a film phone in.

I'll be chronicling what I get up to on these pages as time goes on and showing examples of projects that I'm working on. I'll also be rambling on about insights I've gained from going through the aforementioned "bit of a change". Hope to see you in a later post.
