Party with Green Room and See Festival


Hi to all Green Room Followers, This is Nathalia Suarez, I'm the new Green Room Intern and this is my very first time writing to you on this blog ( Very exciteeeed...). I feel very enthusiastic about this new challenge in my life in which I'm looking to contribute proactively to the Green Room team, learn all what I can from all of you media people and also it makes me very motivated the idea of meeting new people and  making new friends.

Undoubtedly, The See Festival Launch Party in association with Wired Sussex and Green Room at Sticky Mike's Frog Bar, was the best way to start  this year our monthly networking events for TV and film people. Before the party, 'Life in a Day', a ground breaking documentary was screened downstairs, followed by   premiering clips and Q&A by Morgan Matthews, Director and Billy Dosanjh, Editor for the forthcoming  'Britain in a Day'. On Sunday, I had the great opportunity to see 'My New Home', an excellent and very touching documentary, directed by Daisy Asquith, which is a series about immigrant children moving to Britain to start their new lives, a vivid reality of experiences for the children and their families in which you can clearly see the process of how they have been affected by coming to live in the UK. They were filmed regularly for 5 years from the moment they stepped off the planes, when they were 11 years. When the documentary finished, it was fantastic to have a Q&A session with Daisy and the three children and their mothers.

By now just saying I'm very happy to be part of Green Room team group and I hope to meet you all at our forthcoming networking event, which details will be confirmed very soon.

Please find below some pictures from the See Festival Launch Party in association with Wired Sussex and Green at Sticky Mike's Frog Bar.

Green Room co hosts See Festival launch party

 It's been a busy few months and I've managed to gain a new intern , the lovely and talented Nathalia Suarez. To kickstart our Green Room year of events we're co hosting the See Festival launch party click here for more info: http://seefestival.org/programme/launch-weekend/launch-party.html

We hope to see you there at Sticky Mikes Frog bar in Middle St Brighton at 9pm on 24th March.

With MIPTV coming up at the end of the month I'm busy trying to organise my diary there. yesterday I popped in to London to attend a seminar on this very theme it was run by PACT. I enjoyed hearing Andrew Baker from Rights TV speak about co pro's etc and being told by the Pitch Doctor to change my inner naggy voice to a mickey mouse character which will apparently boost my self esteem !!
very funny, probably works though haven't tried it yet.....

Last  month the groomers met up for a quick drink at the Dorset bar in the north laines, a low key affair where we plotted the year ahead for Green Room. rebecca Watkin who is now working and (re inventing might I add) Wired Sussex came along and gee ed us all up with her idea for this months party.
The See festival itself looks to be an inviting event as usual and cannot wait to see everyone at the party. toodle pip.
