Meanwhile back in Essex, we were rather honoured to be Colchester Film Festival's Gala opening film yesterday evening, at First Site in Colchester, who have themselves really supported us.
A nice blog review makes me very proud:

"The damaging headlines of recent years have hurt the town without offering any solutions. The fight back starts here with Jaywick Escapes"

Thanks so much to everyone who came along to our sell-out London Premiere at the East End Film Festival. Fantastic to watch the film with a full house. Thanks also to the lovely Bob Stanley who hosted our Q&A.

As you can see from this pic. we went on to celebrate - Here I am with Nick (the protagonist of the film) and his son, who we met for the first time. I always find it interesting to hear what people make of the film - but especially those who have been closely involved with it or the people in it. I enjoyed a great chat with Nick's son about Jaywick and the film.

The screenings are generating lots of interest in Jaywick itself which is wonderful. Today there's an article in the Independent which you can read here. For those disappointed not to have got a ticket last week, sign up for our mailing list and we will update you with news of more screening dates ASAP.

Lately we have had some nice mentions about the film from Somewhere hero Bob Stanley (of one of our fave bands of all time St Etienne) in the Guardian here and online on Film International here

Of our (almost) complete installation based on Jaywick Escapes at the Science Museum!

Thanks to Ruth Fenton for all her help and the in progress photo. For those interested in the facinating history of Jaywick we are showing some unique materials from The Stedman Collection relating to the early years of Jaywick Sands resort and local flooding. Big thanks to Clacton and District Local History Society for loaning these.
