What writers will get from attending The Impact premiere? By Ben Marshall
As creatives we are encouraged to embrace the new norm of digital interaction. More reason, in my view, to grasp the very real opportunity on offer with The Impact premiere event. Not only will it be a great night of red carpet glamour and a one off cinema experience, but writers will also be blasted

The Magic Of The Final Sound Mix… Impact50 Gets a MASSIVE acoustic makeover The final sound mix is like the creative climax of the filmmaking process. It’s where EVERY idea finally works.

50 Kisses Blog and Posts Resurrected
Over the last week and helped by the fabulous Milethia Thomas, we have managed to bring back the 50 Kisses blog, literally hundreds of posts on the whole journey.

Create50: How this all began and the magical throughline of creativity…
It all began with a riot. Four nights or rioting across the UK actually, but mainly in London. It was August 2011 and walking through Ealing the day after, on my way to the office at Ealing Studios, reminded me of a war zone. This was the start of Create50, though right now, it was

Why I chose to get involved in Impact50… by Tasbir Malle
Just over 3 years ago I was stuck on bed rest with an 8cm wound in my ass, staring at 4 walls, 24-7, with just a laptop and a TV to keep me company most days. The only light from a window at the far end of the room. There was no end to the

Countdown to The Impact feature film on 31st May by Milethia Thomas
In the world of the feature film The Impact, humanity, in all its guises, is on a countdown to oblivion. In real life – eek! – we’re on a countdown to something life-affirming: the world premiere of a film that has been a community endeavour and labour of love for many – the brainchild of Chris

Have you seen the dinosaur fossil from the Impact 66 million years ago?
I love science. I grew up in a home that celebrated it. My brother leant toward astronomy and engineering, myself to microscopy, biology and geology, specifically palaeontology. The news that scientists unearthed the remains of a dinosaur that died on the day of the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs is nothing short of

Impact50: Which Poster Mock Up Do You Prefer?
So it’s time to cast your vote for the final poster designs that will go outside cinemas whe the film is screened (and also given to everyone at the premiere). We have a couple of finalist mock ups for you to consider. I stress these are mock ups as we are really just honing in

Grading The Impact… using DaVinci Resolve
Last week we began the final grade for The Impact. This is where we adjust colours, contrast and even add subtle visual effects like shadows or flares, to polish the look of all the films. Aside from the obvious creative element we can address, the grading also helps make the films all look like they

Impact50 Update… The End Is In Sight
So, it’s been a long time. We had an actual apocalypse. Who knew. First up, I want to assure you I am 100% committed to getting Impact50 completed. The reasons it has taken way longer than any of us ever expected are many and complex, but can really be boiled down to a few simple
