“I’m a bit sore now, but chuffed I did it.” Well done to LSM’s Senior Lecturer and graduate Graham Cooper on his Cycle for Life on 8th September 2013. The 70km bike ride was in aid of his chosen charity Farleigh Hospice. So far Graham’s raised £220 and he said you can still donate at his Just Giving page. “Any contribution however big or small would be gratefully received. Don’t forget to add gift aid so the tax man does his part, too! Thank you.” Continue reading

Hello. Here’s another post from me – a Lincoln School of Media Student.
I became a freelancer completely by accident and it was never something I considered as part of plan. I had a BBQ in summer 2012 and a girl who I was once friends with in high school turned up and got talking to me asking the standard generic question ‘so, how’s uni?’… I got chatting about it and she started telling me about the business she and her mum have, Happiness Millionaire, she mentioned that they were looking to create some short videos to ultimately make into a mobile app and asked if I fancied doing it? Since it was to be the first time I’d independently produced any form of film related work I said I’d happily do it free of charge as I’d use it as an opportunity to learn some new skills.

This summer LSM students, like Director Matthew Gambell and the dedicated production team from writers to producers, have been busy fundraising, scripting and shooting an independent feature film called ‘What Goes Up’. It’s a “rom-com with a sci-fi twist”, which is currently in post-production.
Matt said: We’re hoping to get the film finished by January so that we can start circulating the festivals before releasing it later in the year, we’re also hoping to have a few screenings within Lincoln before release. Continue reading
2012 Graduation
A little update from me – after completing my 11 month Web and Multimedia Graduate Internship in the University of Lincoln’s Marketing department, I landed the job of Social Media Officer! (Woo, I believe that calls for a celebratory cocktail…or two!)
As my internship came to an end I was faced with going back to the job market which, as any graduate will know, is a scary place to be. You find one awesome job and 200 people go for it. Competition is definitely fierce, particularly in media-related roles, so I began applying for anything and everything in my field. I had a few successful interviews, including one here at the University for the Social Media Officer role which I accepted in a heartbeat. I loved my time as an intern here and the role was exactly what I was looking for.

See below the fabulous Frequency Festival 2013 promotional sting by Senior Lecturers at the creative LSM, alumnus Graham Cooper with the soundtrack from David McSherry. Frequency Fest 2013, ‘Join the Revolution’ 18th-26th October 2013 and fly the flag!

From Sarah Barrow, Head of Lincoln School of Media, on Ewen Glass one of the teaching team who is a Lincoln-based screenwriter amongst his other talents in the creative industries:
LSM Lecturer Ewen Glass was one of five filmmakers selected to be supported by Creative England to attend the prestigious talent development programme at last month’s Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF). EIFF Talent Lab took place during the festival and offered up-and-coming filmmakers the opportunity to learn from the world’s key film industry players. It brought together thirty emerging directors, producers and screenwriters with key UK and international film professionals in a number of ways to help advise and inspire them for the next steps in their careers.
In Edinburgh, Ewen benefited from a variety of advice sessions, workshops and masterclasses aimed at the next generation of film talent. He had the unmissable opportunity to discuss the industry, their projects and their ideas with a selection of invited industry professionals including sales agents, executive producers, literary agents, story editors and distributors. Ewen said: “An invaluable experience, one which not only arms you with a whole new set of professional contacts and an improved skillset, but which fosters a sense of community among up and coming film-makers.
