Nick Loven, Class of 2001 | Screening ‘Tell Them of Us’ 8 Nov

Posted on by

WAG_Nick_Loven_150w2001 alumnus and indie filmmaker Nick Loven directed ‘Tell Them of Us’ by WAG Screen, which is a community filmmaking group.  The film will be screened from this Saturday at The Collection. The “film aims to breathe life into the cold stillness of a war memorial. It is the story of one Lincolnshire family during WW1.”  In fact, it is based on a true story about the Crowder family from unpublished archive letters.

The film’s title comes from an epitaph written in 1916: When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.

FREE public screenings: Auditorium at The Collection in Lincoln | 8th Nov at 2pm | 9th Nov at 11am & 2pm | 15th Nov 11am & 2pm | 16th Nov 11am & 2pm Continue reading →

It’s a doco film directed by Phil Stevens, one of our industry mentors, and narrated by Sir Ian McKellen. LSFM Senior Lecturer Chris Hainstock posted the story and invites you to the University of Lincoln: Tue 4 Nov | 6pm – 7.30pm | EMMTEC MT007 | Brayford Pool | FREE ADMISSION

The-Road-to-Rome_castandcrewIn the Summer of 2014 Filmmaker and LSFM Lecturer Philip Stevens directed a documentary which was as taxing for the filmmakers as it was for the participants. The Director of Photography was Stewart MacGregor who along with Philip is a graduate of the School of Film and Media from 2010 ( and in 2011 they won a regional RTS Award for Greasepaint). The Road To Rome, narrated by Sir Ian McKellen, is a feature-length documentary about three authors of historical fiction who walk from Naples to Rome dressed as Roman soldiers to raise money for charity. So far the walk has raised over £25,000 in donations for charities Médecins Sans Frontières and Combat Stress. You can see the trailer from Urban Apache Films.

LSFM Mentoring | Industry engagement between alumni and students

Posted on by

LSFM_Wordpress-LOGOLincoln School of Film & Media Mentoring is a unique way for us to link industry with 20 of our undergraduates. Thanks to our mentors, they’re all our alumni from media & its related industries, AND LSFM students who applied to be mentees this year.

After a successful pilot launched at the start of 2014, our mentoring initiative will continue this academic year and is a collaboration between the School and the University of Lincoln Careers & Employability Service.  LSFM Mentoring between industry professionals and our undergraduates is part of our LSFM Network, which (as you may know) created this blog and started the School’s ‘Meet the Graduates’ alumni event (next gathering for graduates & students will be on 29 Oct) to name just a couple of things managed by the network. The LSFM has always been keen for our alumni to be part of our activities and events. LSFM Mentoring is another strand to enhance our link between industry and academia.  We’re looking forward to our media mentors and mentees sharing their experiences here! LSFM Mentoring is a developing project, so your thoughts and suggestions are welcome. You can read a student-mentee story from the pilot mentoring here.

Promo for Romantic Comedy Film ‘What Goes Up’ by LSM Students

Posted on by

An update from LSM’s student Hannah Skidmore who is the Producer at GSProductions.  It’s an indie made up of a student team. The production’s making the feature length rom-com ‘What Goes Up’ film:

MatthewGambell_What_Goes_Up_LOGO

“The official trailer for GSProductions first feature film has been released. Pre-production began in May 2013 with a team of just under 20 people working to promote the project and raise funds via an IndieGoGo campaign. After meeting their goal of just over £3,500, they were able to hire and shoot on a RED One digital camera, allowing for full cinematic scale, as well as receiving merchandise and the legal rights for the products used throughout the film, such as Rubik’s from Seven Towns Ltd. An original score is also being created for the film by Vincent Walker of Suburban Legends, which really brings the film to life. The film was shot in just over three weeks in July 2013 and is now nearing the end of production, with the final stages of post-production currently underway, with hopes to release the film at the end of September 2014.”
