The Impact DCP Goes To The BBFC For Classification
The final DCP* for The Impact is coming out just over 100GB, fitting nicely on an old SSD ripped from a dead laptop. And it’s now time to submit the film for BBFC classification. This is a legal requirement if we are to show the film publically, and also part of the evidence trail for
Struck by a Meteorite! What Are The Chances? By Milethia Thomas
“You have a better chance of getting hit by a tornado and a bolt of lightning and a hurricane all at the same time.” Michael Reynolds, astronomer and author of Falling Stars: A Guide to Meteors & Meteorites (as told to the National Geographic).

Four Star Review of ‘The Impact’ with Film and TV, Review by John Higgins
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The world may be emerging from a global challenge, but film-makers are still determined to show the bad side of what is going on.

One initiative pioneered through the

Want to hear the music soundtrack for Impact50?

‘Impact50’ is a film that makes you feel, review by Alison Clapham
The Impact50 movie is a triumph of vision and team spirit.

Grab YOUR Movie Poster for Impact50
So AMAZING people, we have a movie poster for Impact50… After a HUGE amount of debate within the team and community, we have decided to use the poster with the meteor for all online presence.

How writing Inside the Piano Shop helped my work, by Lisa Parry
