Opportunity for Artists and Animators
Call out to artists and animators to submit
works for Here There & Everywhere, The Beatles fan film
As some of you may know there has been a
huge social project going on over the past 4 years culminating in a documentary
called Here There & Everywhere,
which is the ultimate love letter from Beatles fans to the band. Directed by
Simon Weitzman and edited by fellow fan, Andy Lee, the Fan Film project will
finally be released in 2021.
However, this is a call to arms from the
makers of the film to all artists and animators in The Beatles fan family. They
want you to get in touch with them to submit your artwork of the FAB4, both as
a band and individually throughout their careers to be included in the film. All
used submissions will be credited.
They are also looking for animator fans who
want to showcase their work and submit anything from 5 to 15 seconds of
animation, again to be credited and used in the final film. With individual
artworks they need to be submitted at high resolution via www.wetransfer.com to simon@badhalo.com and Simon will
acknowledge receipt. The production will be working with The British Beatles
Fan Club to work with artists on specific briefs via updates. Submissions can
start now and will be accepted until the end of November 2020.
Fans can learn more about the film at https://www.facebook.com/HTAEBEATLESFANFILM and through
regular updates here, so keep a look out.
Your Own Personal Beatles - New Podcast
Let us
introduce to you…
A brand
new podcast about THE BEATLES hosted by veteran podcaster JACK PELLING and
musician and comedian, ROBIN ALLENDER.
YOUR OWN
PERSONAL BEATLES explores our personal relationship with the greatest band of
all time. How were they so good? Why are they still so important half a century
on? And did they even really exist?
In the first series, Jack and Robin will talk to guests including comedian, ELIS JAMES, one of the UK’s most successful song writers and producers GUY CHAMBERS, epidemiologist and author of Say Why to Drugs, DR SUZI GAGE, Liam Gallagher’s keyboard player, CHRISTIAN MADDEN, and Welsh multi-instrumentalist and former member of Simple Minds, CATHERINE ANNE DAVIES aka THE ANCHORESS.
JACK
PELLING works in television and has produced a number of podcasts over the last
10 years, including the film show CELLULOID HEROES. He has reviewed films on
BBC RADIO LONDON and has been Beatles-obsessed for over three decades.
ROBIN ALLENDER is a musician and comedian. He has collaborated
with numerous artists and has also released music under his own name. He has
toured with YANN TIERSON and played with bands including GRAVENHURST, FELIX and
THE REVIVAL HOUR, and as a stand-up comedian, recently supported JOHN ROBINS on
tour, including a date at the Hammersmith Apollo.
YOUR OWN PERSONAL BEATLES is available on all podcasting platforms
soon, with new episodes released every week. They are also on social media
@PersonalBeatles on Twitter and Instagram.
YOUR OWN PERSONAL BEATLES is a Homespun Sounds production and is
produced by Jack Pelling with artwork by Morgan Ritchie.
“People
get fiercely protective about their personal Beatles. How can we keep hearing
our own secrets in these songs? How can they be the world’s
most passionately beloved band, yet still weirdly underrated? And how is there
so much life in the music? Oh, unTimely life. ”
