"I′m a sucker for projects where interactive media meets the real world and inspires or makes a difference. Tribe Wanted is just such an initiative. It brings people together on-line and on-the-ground - including on a remote island - to tackle the biggest issues of our day in a totally immersed, committed, fun, human way. How the project is run and presented online shows a very thoughtful, skillful approach to networked media"
- Adam Gee (New Media
Commissioner, Channel 4)

Mark Bowness is blown away at the Government’s pledge to make UK media and arts world leader

Filed Under The ramblings of a creative consultant

have always been passionate about the fact that there are everyday ordinary people, just like me, who have ideas for TV programmes which could be the next X Factor, the next Eastenders, the next ‘Lost’ and more. It seems that the government agrees with me!

It was fantastic to read today about how the Government is putting time, effort, energy and focus on making the UK’s creative industry one of the most powerful industries in the world - all within the next 10 years. This will involve conferences, training, centers of excellence and a focus on developing the creativity of the UK. Of course this is exactly the heart of ‘Have You Got The Nerve?’ and I am in the process of developing discussions with the Government with regards to our project.

Lots more goings on next week, but, for this week, I need to rest!
