Katy – Class of 2006 and Rob 2005
You’ll probably remember the Uni Radio Station, Siren FM, and think the only things to come out of it were building up your CV, learning the trade or its eclectic blend of music! For the then 2nd year student Katy Atkinson and 3rd year student Rob Dowell something a bit longer lasting and yes soppier came out of it…a marriage!
From Chris Hainstock:
“What Does Otto See?” Directed by Neil Baker (Electric Egg) has won Best UK Animated Short at the Cornwall International Film Festival.
Otto, a decrepit busking hobo, bashes out a jaunty tune on his toy piano to amuse passers by and hopefully earn him the odd coin. But on a pavement full of street maestros why would anyone spare a penny for old Otto?

My journey from university to working life has not been easy, having spent 20 months living on sofas and busking to make money, however if you want to do something bad enough, then you’ve just got to do it.
I went to university with two aims, to be as creative as possible and meet loads of people on the same wavelength as me. At the time I had come from an art background with a small amount of experience in Video production. Throughout the first two years of the Media Production Bachelors Degree I began to develop as a creative thinker.
Michael Henry has told us he has completed post-production on his third feature film.
“I Work” will be screened in the Cargill Lecture Theatre, 7.30pm on 9 December.
We have been trying to track James down for ages. No luck yet with his story, but he seems to be doing well, to judge by his Facebook pages.
“Freelance Camera, Sound, Editor, and DIT. From Broadcast, Film and Corporate. Working in Film, Broadcast and Corporate.
Working with companies such as – BBC, Foundation TV, Bentley, Ford, British Gas, Presenter Studio, and loads more.”
Here are some of James’ productions:
Hi there, Daz Scales here from Backyard Productions, a fan film group from the UK. I also graduated with Masters in Media Production thanks to the University of Lincoln.
You might be interested to know that I am producing a series of video diaries of the production process. As well as detailing the progress I also pass on my ‘wisdom’ of making films for free (well almost free).
Congratulations!
“Hear Our Voices”, a film made by Lincoln Media Production graduates and shown at the first meeting of the new Global Counter-terrorism Forum in New York has won praise from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Produced by Tom Mallion and directed by Khurrum Mahmood, the film was commissioned by the Global Survivors Network to tell the stories of survivors of terrorist attacks around the world.

From Marcella Forster:
Are you the next Debbie Horsfield or Paul Abbott? BBC North Developing Talent in partnership with BBC writersroom is delighted to announce this development opportunity for student / recent graduate drama writers.
Plenty of people leave university with a decent degree, but it’s the people who have more than that who will get the jobs that are so in demand.

“You want to work in America? You want to go back into education? Why not study in America!?”
After I graduated in BA Hons Media Production back in 2008, I found myself in a bit of a standstill. Although I was still thinking of ideas and wanting to write screenplays, I ended up in an office job. During the height of the recession, I was grateful to have a job.
