Pre XMAS shutdown

Signing off from 2009. Still shellshocked from the intense activity December brought forth around the project. Now at the stage of recovering, regrouping and preparing to re-engage with the audience and new contacts we've been making.

It has been odd to be blogging the project this year yet keeping so much information close to the chest. I feel that next year we need to open things out and find a voice for this blog that can talk about the pressing issues of the day as they happen - we're learning so much in this new area of storytelling and we want to share it out and make some new connections.

Can we do it? We'll have to give it a go...

Salut from 2009 at AWP Xxx

Pre Xmas Saturday

The response to our AWP launch has been amazing so we're heading into the New Year much enthused. Our XMAS 2008 footage is going up really scrappy so we'll have to refine that along the way. Membership is rising steadily - the tech is holding up (though we're crying out for a new server) - and some really interesting partnerships in the offing.

We're talking with a couple of excellent musicians: NSG and James Kelly about using their music for AWP. Both really talented guys, so hopefully you'll get to see the results on a screen near you soon.

We're going to try some new things out next year: new stories, concepts and characters. Not sure how much to say just yet so will assemble my thoughts on it now...

Post AWP Launch

...that was hard work - but the clips look great!

Last night was frantic, disorganised, late, bizarre and exhausting. I'm writing about the launch of The Alexander Wilson Project' - a special screening of exclusive AWP footage and the shooting scenes set at Alex and Becky's media studies xmas party 2008.

Neil Bell was an excellent compere playing the disengaged tutor Simon Quilter. I'm just running the tapes now and we have stacks of good stuff from everybody.

Thanks to all who contributed and came and saw. Will post media up soon.
