Jelly, Jelly, Jelly! Photographer and director, Scott Grummett is launching a piece of personal work entitled JELLY. For months he has wanted to create a series of stills and a music video style film of jelly dancing to the beat, sometimes with an elegant rippling wobble, at others a thriving mosh pit of head bangers. It’s a self confessed silly boy project, a juvenile and joyful dance around a subject that crosses all generations and can’t help but bring a smile to your face.
An artful film is joined by some graphic still life stills that still exhibit lively motion and and a series of energetic dancing social pieces will be rolling out every week to take us into the weekend with a bump."

"Throughout her documentaries and photography alike, seemingly mundane moments of everyday life are transformed into moving and nostalgic reflections on womanhood and community. They’re a celebration of the emotional and the domestic, realms often overlooked in commercial media, yet rich with meaning and potential for human connection." - Amy Hey for The Talent at shots.net discussing director Irene Baqué.

After spending six years travelling the world as a video journalist for The Guardian, Darling Films director Irene Baqué moved into commercial filmmaking, where she has created socially-impactful, female-focussed films for brands from Pandora to Doc Martens.

“An ode to a time when summer seemed endless, and the simple rituals offered solace from the monotony.

From a corner of the Catalan countryside, Can Carreras invites us on a nostalgic and dreamy journey, filled with fond memories that may have been tinged with a touch of idealization, set in a surreal space where time stands still.

the essence of family life during the summer — a fleeting moment when families come together in the mundane of everyday life at home, revealing the poetry in simplicity.”

Our co-MD and founder Clare Timms takes part in The Advertising Producers Association (APA)'s Disability Inclusivity in Production’ Talk in Collaboration with Unilever today, hosted by Company 3 and Framestore.

This year it was reported that disabled people are the least represented in the broadcast production industry, making up just 6.5% vs. the disabled population as a whole, which constitutes 15-17% of the UK population (source: Creative Diversity Network). It is a figure that isn’t improving quickly enough.

The panel will be discussing ways to make our industry more inclusive by actively involving individuals with disabilities behind the camera. Through this panel talk, we explain how you can foster a talent pool that truly reflects the diversity of our society and population. As part of the APA’s support for the Unilever Inclusive Set Commitment, Unilever will cover the costs for one mentee from the disability community on every master production valued at over €100K.
