UPDATE: The screening was previously stated as 3pm but it is now 5pm. See the full programme of films HERE for their "Showcase Programme" that the film is in.

Howdy! I haven't blogged in ages as I've been intensively moving house and setting up shop, but pretty much back on track now AND... I'm pleased to announce that I just got word a few days ago that The Next Room (the third in my Videos For Artists web series) will screen tomorrow as part of the 5th DocFilm Festival 2014. The screening will takes place at the Doc Media Centre (Highcross, Leicester) 8th November at 5pm as a part of a larger programme showing 11am to 7pm. There is a big array of things going on, with the entirety of November being Documentary Media Month. Well worth a look and a privelege to be a part of! Sadly I can't attend the screening but wish the festival and wider event the best of luck.

The Next Room is a short documentary that casts a wandering eye on a group of artists as they prepare for their installation performance within the Pit Theatre at London's bustling creative nucleus the Barbican Centre. Le Collectif International des Improvisateurs is made up of performers, musicians, technicians, dancers and everything in between. An eclectic, unsuspecting audience will walk through the door into The Next Room. Check out the group's brand new website.

If you're on Twitter, keep up to speed with my work and interact with me @PaulEVernon. I will soon be releasing my new dance film Branches & Bones that I made in Denmark and would love you to see it. Sincerely, thanks for reading!

The Tri-Cities International Fantastic Film Festival begins tomorrow, with my science fiction short film MARS-II screening on the 28th of September in two days. This is currently the final screening in America for MARS-II, being a part of two film festivals in Detroit and Pasco earlier in 2014. MARS-II premiered at the 38th Boston Science Fiction Film Festival, screened in South Africa for Celludroid and was an opening film in Toronto for Monsters & Martians Science Fiction Short Film Festival. It has also screened in India and was short-listed for the Golden Blaster at The National Irish Science Fiction Film Awards! Myself and others who worked on the film are delighted that it's been seen by so many audiences around the world and I'll be bringing the film online imminently - getting our work in front of more people. You can read about the MARS-II production, behind the scenes and more in my Champion Up North interview (including a very peculiar story while filming).

Anna Jung Seo's her 81 paces exhibition, which I shot for VIDEOS FOR ARTISTS #4 at the A&D Gallery, has now concluded. The video and latest in the web series will be online soon. Check out these new preview images to see Anna's brilliant work up close and some of what will be included:

Thanks for reading my blog! I sincerely appreciate your time. You can interact with me on Twitter with my handle @PaulEVernon and don't hesitate to contact me if you want to know more about my films or the Videos For Artists web series, which has documented work in the Barbican Centre and for the London Contemporary Dance School. I'm always looking for new projects, clients and collaborators; maybe that's you? Until next time...

Websites for ANNA JUNG SEO and A&D GALLERY

On the 16th of September I was invited to make a film of the opening night private viewing of her 81 paces from Korean artist Anna Jung Seo at the A&D Gallery in London. The fourth in my web series focussing on artists (installations, performances, exhibitions etc.). Anna's intimate and spectacular work was ergonomically arranged and satisfyingly presented by the gallery, which made the digestion and observation of her personal imagery enjoyable and rewarding. The drawings and paintings explored a range of emotions, with distinctly colourful pictures mixing with moodier darker pieces. The combination of which, showed the variation in Anna's feelings whilst in the process of creating these new works and the breadth of her skills as an artist. One of the great aspects I find in her work, is the variety of style. Videos For Artists #1 - Memories Through Line & Colour, Anna's last solo show, screened as a feature (see picture left) in the gallery surrounded by the exhibition of these excellent new works. her 81 paces runs until Saturday 20th of September and you can read more about on Gallery Guide.

Branches & Bones is soon to be released online! The editing is now complete and I aim to be officially releasing the film via social media, Youtube and Vimeo in the coming weeks. Check out the gallery of production stills below for a taste. The film is my interpretation of Julie Schmidt Andreasen's dance and movement workshops that took place in the rarely captured mysterious but beautiful grounds of Vallo Castle in Denmark. When I first started developing this project, I really wasn't sure what my end result would look like. I am now very pleased with the film and having sent a preview of my cut to Julie... she is too! I look forward to people seeing our work in this unique video which showcases the interesting and environmentally interactive choreography/games that Julie has created.

I went to Denmark with two films I intended to create, though I now have SIX to put together! You may as well make the most of your time somewhere! From looking at the material when I returned home to England I found more within what I'd shot and others were concieved on the spur of the moment when there. This includes a film of photography observing a Copenhagen beach where you can see over the sea an impressive massive bridge to Sweden and a dance film of new choreography from Julie that premiered a few months ago in a Danish museum, on the same beach. With the latter we also filmed a scene in a dance studio that was converted from a chapel - Dansekapellet.

One of these extra shorts is made-up of two scenes which I thought didn't fit within the overall Branches & Bones film. I felt they needed more breathing space than I could allow and so they're getting their own video. The scenes are of a game in which one person must guide another using only sound; the person with their eyes closed trusting and relying on their partner. It's a very basic idea but yielded images that expressed a genuine intertwine between the people and the nature around them. Three of the production stills are below.

If you've read this far about my work, then sincerely thank you and I hope you get to see my finished films when they come online! I'll mention briefly that there's exciting development of a potential workshop with the central theme being my short documentary A Film By Abigail that would take place in D-NM--K... you guessed it: Denmark again!

Hello! Thanks for clicking on my blog - it means the world to me that you'd even consider giving me some of your time! I have three new films I've been commissioned to make in the next two months and I am in the midst of development for them. Here's the short rundown of these varied projects:

Following the success of my FILTHY LUCRE 3 trailer, I've been asked to return and commissioned to create a new film for their fourth edition of the arts event! The night will also have an orchestra, designers and slam poets demonstrating new work and song covers. My piece will be interpreting "the city" and "urban spaces" in London. How I portray or visually discuss these elements has been left up to me as an artist to develop through an organic and rewarding process, towards a final visual piece. The film will be accompanied by a live music soundtrack of Steve Reich's 'Electric Counterpoint' on the event night of July 12th at the Bussey Building in Peckham. I want to subvert and distort common images of the city skyline and famous buildings using perspective, composition, close-up texture and different methods of mirroring/layering the imagery. The video elements will be shot in black and white, but I've also decided to include full colour photography within the film. Despite the obvious comments that will likely be there, about commercialism and expansion in the capital, I don't want to make a film that hammers home a political view or is an indictment of the place. I want the film to be interpretive and insightful for the audience, pessimistic and also optimistic; an artistically journalistic account of the city from someone only just getting-to-know it. The film will incorporate experimental efforts of inducing nostalgia, through the people and colours of the streets, captured through the innocence but unpredictability of my modified disposable cameras. I can't wait to see how all the components mix and what we might see of London through it.

Thank you for reading my blog! I appreciate the interest in my work and support. Please Like/Share if you can. I look forward to showing you the new films either online or at an event. Please follow me on Twitter @PaulEVernon to connect and keep updated.
