Anonymous gets some Purchase
Production and management firm Anonymous Content has hired the dynamic, two-man filmmaking team of David and Ian Purchase to its Commercial, Integrated, and Feature Film divisions.
On joining Anonymous' roster David Purchase exclaims, "Anonymous Content is an amazing company. There was hardly a decision to be made. It was a wonderful opportunity that presented itself and we are extremely happy to be working with them."
The Toronto-born brothers have earned an industry-wide reputation for putting together entertaining independent feature films with little to no budget, showing an impressive resourcefulness that bodes well for their professional prospects. The pair has single-handedly tackled nearly every aspect of their past projects soup to nuts (ed: We had to Google to find out that this means ‘from beginning to end’ in American. It is now part of Reel lexicon).

Psst!
Not To Scale’s Steve Scott has joined forces with PSST! 3, a collaborative film project consisting of 17 films made by a team of 51 designers, directors, animators and composers.
The mission of PSST! is to produce original short films through collaborations, with each film being comprised of three sections produced by three different teams: the beginning, middle and end. The concept is derived from the Dadaist game of Exquisite Corpse and the children’s game Telephone and applied to the arts of motion graphics, animation and film-making. Got it?
If you’re massively confused, just come to the London screening on Thursday, 26th March. It will be screened at the Bodhi Gallery @ 7pm, 214 Brick Lane, London, E1 6SA.
