Ideas about our Electric December piece:
Original submission
Bristol Wireless are working with local cooperative of fellow creative techies Fluffylogic to produce a 90s film showing how the free, open access network provided by Bristol Wireless connects up real people and real places both across Bristol and with the outside world.
The film will be shot in and around inner city Bristol, especially Easton and St Werburghs. It will showcase multiple elements of our work such as our work with the elderly residents of Princess Royal Gardens Sheltered Housing and our LTSP suite - a travelling cybercafe which served as a mobile media centre for Indymedia this summer.
Response from Liz Milner at Electric December
Really like the projects you mention - great for the connecting Bristol theme - but we also wanted to be sure that, to fit in with ED, it's not just going to be a straightforward documentary of project work - for ED it needs to have the quality of a present - bit of fun, quirky humour - I'm sure you all realise that - Fluffy L are old hands at the ED business and quirky humour! But it would be good to have a sense of how that might come across.
Email from Ben
There was a discussion last night saying that we should use the interview with Ron Corbett as the basis for our ED film. It's really heart warming and Christmassy.
