Shiny New Trophy!

An enjoyable day at the Shortwave Cinema in London yesterday was topped off by 3 Lions picking up the award for Best Documentary at the Kicks n Flicks Film Festival.

The 2006 England fan documentary was really well received by the audience in the South London cinema and was given the top award by a panel from the Football Supporters Federation and the Film Council. And it looks like World Cup Fever is certainly here, ready for the new tournament to kick off in South Africa next month.

If you haven't seen the film yet or want to get your hands on a copy, or would simply like to support the project, then 3 Lions is available to buy on DVD for only £5, including postage. You can buy it using paypal by clicking on the link at the bottom of the Ivisualise Player homepage: http://www.ivisualise.de/ivisplayer.htm
Or you can email Jamie McDine for other payment options: jamie@ivisualise.co.uk

A big thank you to the festival organisers and roll on 11mm auf Tour in Nürnberg next month, where 3 Lions will make another festival appearance.

Football's coming home!

This week on the Ivisualise Player I'm returning to one of my favourite films and hobbies... yes football!

On the homepage is a 5 minute England fan documentary at the World Cup 2002 in Japan. This footage was all shot by Steve Thornton at the World Cup in Japan and edited by Jamie McDine, released as a bonus extra feature on the critically acclaimed "3 Lions, 23 Players & 100,000 Friendly Fans" World Cup 2006 DVD.

3 Lions is perhaps the work I am most proud of, due to it's success, film duration, the amount of time it took to produce, the way it looks and the fact I did pretty much everything! From cameraman, to editing, directing, script writing, the lot!

The film was completely funded out of my own pocket, so please support the film by buying a copy of 3 Lions on DVD for just £5 including postage inside Europe (or £7 inc postage outside Europe). Click the link at the bottom of the Ivisualise Player home page to pay by paypal http://www.ivisualise.de/ivisplayer.htm. Football fever guaranteed!

"3 Lions, 23 Players & 100,000 Friendly Fans" has been screened at the 11mm International Film Festival, British Council's 'Dreams and Teams', Nachtcafé Britspotting and at special events across Germany. Buy it now and get ready for the excitement of World Cup 2010 in South Africa this Summer!

As for this 'extra' on the DVD. It is an interesting insight into a group of England Fans as they travel around Japan, meeting plenty of friendly locals, as well as a few famous faces, including Terry Butcher. Personally I love the line "Who ate all the Sushi"!!
