As you may have noticed, the fourth of our Orcon IRL events went down at The Golden Dawn on Tuesday night – and it was great! It was the first one we've run in the evening and we made the call to shift outside into the courtyard the day before to allow for better camera angles and more seating for the audience. The weather was cool but kind.
Esther Macintyre and I were joined by Michelle Walshe (co-founder of Augusto and director of the new Richie McCaw documentary Chasing Great), Ant Timpson (most recently producer of the pure-spirited gross-out The Greasy Strangler) and the co-directors of Tickled, Dylan Reeve and David Farrier, the latter via a dodgy Skype connection from New York.
It turned out to be about much more than the movies. Put an hour aside and have a look:
Thanks so much to Hugh Sundae, Rick Huntington and Simon Barker for the great video, Matthew Crawley for the use of his lovely bar, the live audience for coming along and, of course, Orcon for the budget. A special word for my colleague Esther, who is off soon to see the world.
The next Orcon IRL in this year's series is on Tuesday August 9 and it's about the media. You might want to make a note of that.
