The scale of this gig has left precious little time for consultancy work, let alone mail-outs, with many of the original aims for thequality.com now being passed to MOD Films in terms of growing a business, now with the support of NESTA and Lost in Space as stakeholders and various sponsors. <a href="http://modfilms.com/">http://modfilms.com</a>   Going forward, this list will focus on my work as an individual, <a href="http://lists.thequality.com/mm/listinfo/thequality-update">http://lists.thequality.com/mm/listinfo/thequality-update</a>   while subscribers to this list will receive updates with a more commercial focus, <a href="http://lists.modfilms.com/mm/listinfo/modfilms-announce">http://lists.modfilms.com/mm/listinfo/modfilms-announce</a>   the Massive blog will continue to diarize developments related to digital story-telling in general, <a href="http://thequality.com/massive/weblog">http://thequality.com/massive/weblog</a>   while the venerable theforeignoffice list remains an arts/culture events list available for the use of people in our network <a href="http://lists.thequality.com/mm/listinfo/theforeignoffice">http://lists.thequality.com/mm/listinfo/theforeignoffice</a>   MODS   Through MOD Films, SANCTUARY the ‘re-mixable film’ pilot for my long-standing feature film project (working title Ten Weeks in the Head Bin) was shot in Sydney mid-year. The controversy we encountered this year has only strengthened my resolve to keep muddying the waters and stay committed to making cinematic stories in a more ecologically sustainable way. It is a real privilege to be able to do this ahead of established markets and I am grateful for all your support.   SANCTUARY has so far received press in six countries and, despite considerable opposition from film industry gate-keepers, we got our experimental 35mm film shoot in the can, following the original plan. After much overt and tacit help from around the globe we managed to negotiate the political minefield to negotiate world-first contractual agreements with our professional actors.  The resulting body of work, including actor likenesses, will be malleable like no other. <a href="http://modfilms.com/archives/20050607_press_coverage.html">http://modfilms.com/archives/20050607_press_coverage.html</a>   Post production is now underway and we are looking for volunteers and sponsorship to complete and release the film as quickly as possible. If you are in a position to contribute time and resources of any shape, currency or description, we would love to hear from you.   STUDIO   Finally, I am looking for new flatmates to share the marvellous space I call home in Marylebone, London. Ideally this would be an artistic couple who would benefit from sharing, not just living space, but also a rather unique home studio set-up which has played host to a melting pot of projects and people across film, music, fine arts and new media over the last few years. <a href="http://thequality.com/people/michela/weblog/archives/002230.html#002230">http://thequality.com/people/michela/weblog/archives/002230.html#002230</a>   </div> </body> </html> -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
