Awaiting a report from - or about - Wallingford...

5 November

Although I already had a ticket, my friend Chris couldn't join me on his way (sort of) from Grantham home to Bicester for a screening of Dimensions at the Festival, as it had already sold out.

However, he had a chance to catch up with it last night at the showing at the Corn Exchange in Wallingford. He was going to resist reading the review that I put on IMDb till afterwards, and I didn't hear from him after the screening, so I wonder where that has placed him.

Still, with ratings of 8.1 on IMDb, it has a good body of support behind it, and I've just found these goodies to look at, too:

As to Wallingford, I quote directly from
http://dimensionsthemovie.com/:

Next chance to see the film is at a preview screening at the Wallingford Corn Exchange in Oxfordshire on Nov 4th. If you know anyone in the area, please tell them!

The Cambridge event is, indeed, on Tuesday 22 November from 10.00 to 1.00 (a morning event, not a late-nighter, this time). The current Arts Picturehouse booklet (p. 22) lists it as a 'Contemporary British film industry event: producers and audiences', with the further subtitle 'Funding and producing an independent British film:

Sloane U'Ren (Art / Set Director on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Being John Malkovich and Ant Neeley [sic], composer of Six Feet Under, will discuss their current production Dimensions, a period sci-fi drama shot on location in Cambridgeshire.

NB However, given that this listing is on a spread headed 'Cambridgeshire Film Consortium Education Events' (there are details of the consortium in a column on the same page as quoted from above), and that it is under a banner reading 'Education events for schools and colleges' plus 'Suitable for a/as/undergraduate film/Media Studies / Cost £3.50 accompanying teachers free', it may be that others are not encouraged to attend...

Maybe I shall enquire?

Some will know that, on 4 November, Dimensions hits (hit?!) Wallingford, in Oxfordshire, which I believe that I read about on
the film's web-site...

But, and I really should check the date, on 22 November the film (through the Arts Picturehouse, or at least the mention is in its latest booklet of what's on) is being screened for the fourth time in Cambridge, its home city, and I shall provide details here, just as soon as I can (possibly or otherwise - six impossible things before breakfast, etc.)!


As I recall, Sloane and Ant will also be talking about how to make such a film (or any full-length film) without (the usual) funding - if their names are not already familiar to you, then you have been caught napping on the job of jeeping (?) abreast of this blog, and need to remedy that omission, whilst you can, by reading some earlier postings (if you can find them amongst the plethora of dross).
