Tangerine dream fulfilled
Tangerine, Melbourne's very own monthly short film festival launched on Tuesday 3rd June with work from the likes of Sean Kruck, Kasimir Burgees, Romain Gavras and Dougal Wilson on show. The ever glamorous organiser Colette Crespin was joined on the night by a host of names from Melbourne's adland including representatives from Publicis Mojo, Leo Burnett and Campaign Palace. The night will be at the Local Taphouse, 184 Carlisle St, East St Kilda on the first Tuesday of every month at 6.30pm from now on and entry is FREE. Anyone that goes along should give a bit fat sloppy kiss from the Reel team to Colette - the one in the fetching grey number below.
Goodbye HKM & Rock Fight; hello Hello & Co.
The two veteran US production companies HKM and Rock Fight have merged to create Hello & Co. Boasting an intimate roster of eight directors - happily derived from four talents from each company - the companies have been partners since 2003 but they feel now is the right time to form one solid entity. Ned Brown, Executive Producer of the new company said of the merger, 'By bringing the two companies together we are putting ourselves in the best possible position to be more powerful and grow in the future.' Fellow EP Carl Swan echoed Brown's statement, saying, 'We wanted to put directors together that we felt complimented each other and would resonate with the ad community as a whole.' The new roster consists of: Pep Bosch, Mark Gilbert, David Horowitz, Jacobsbriere, Michael Patrick Jann, Michael Karbelnikoff, Walter Kehr, and Matt Smukler.

Onedotzero
onedotzero international festivals have visited over 120 cities in over 40 countries worldwide, reaching a huge and burgeoning digital arts audience, providing a high profile platform for creative talents to gain global recognition for their work, and also a framework to explore the rich sub-culture that surrounds and complements the audio-visual industry and arts scene.
The visual pioneers and beneficiaries of a Reel special feature along with MTV Bloom in the March issue are now extending an international call for submissions to receive visually progressive moving image work for their 2008/09 global touring festival.
onedotzero’s open submissions scheme is one of the few that remains free to enter, enabling the best up-and-coming talent from around the globe to be presented alongside world-leading creative luminaries.
This year’s theme is 'citystates' which will be sure to provide an in-depth exploration of city life, insights and culture. Shane Walter, CEO and Creative Director at onedotzero explained the reasoning behind the chosen theme, ‘More people than ever before are living in cities bringing with it a greater socio-cultural mix, sense of movement and transition than previously experienced. Now more than ever it is important to understand and interact with the broad spectrum of what the city offers us - how we inhabit it, how we engage with its cultural make up, and how we view and influence its future.’

Red Bee glee
Red Bee Media scooped two awards at the recent Broadcast Digital Channel Awards for their relaunch of UKTV G2 as Dave 'the home of witty banter'. They were victorious in both the Launch of the Year and Best Channel Marketing categories, with one judge saying, 'a lesson in innovative, original and fresh channel branding. We are all humbled.'
