'From Curry Hut to Jerk City, 2 for 2 to fufu,
black magic and vodoo, blessed souls

Words Apart Film Project: Get involved!

Ladies and gentleman... 

Stand by for take off For... 

A great opportunity for young poets based in London to work with Words Apart first film project 'Twisted Tongues.'  

Just a little reminder first... a couple months ago we won a grant to make a short film about young people in Barnet. It would interact with local services and shopkeepers and attempt to understand the problems and issues facing us in this age. In the application we spoke of different cultures, ages and heritages coming together to explain how hard it is for minorities in this 21 st century. 

SO now the time has come for us to raise our game up and take WORDS APART POETRY to a higher plain. We will have music and sound added by Goldielock sand two young people from Rithmik Youth Centre. This project will also bring in the local parkour people into the mix.

So now we come to dates.

THE PROJECT WILL OCCUR IN THE WEEK OF THE 18th JULY. AND THE WEEK WILL BE SPLIT BETWEEN CANADA VILLA AND THE NOBLE SAGE ART GALLERY. 

Two Days planning and two and a half days shooting. We have a professional film maker in charge of the shooting and an editor who'll knock it out within two weeks of the final shoot.

The earlier  session will be a two hour meeting and planning session ...

that is 14TH of JULY 6-8 at CANADA VILLA YOUTH CENTRE IN MILL HILL.
