Sea to Summit Global’s Post

So I went and devoured decades of insights from the most inspiring leaders in cinema. The result? I walked away with a set of timeless principles from the greatest advocates for change in the world. Here are the golden takeaways: - Cinema is a powerful tool for cultural exchange and understanding. - Inclusivity in the film industry isn't just about what's on the screen; it's about who gets to participate. - Every ticket purchase at Global Film Exhibition isn't just about viewing diverse films; it's a step towards supporting a grand cause. A portion of every ticket supports LifeLine Service Dogs, an incredible organization close to our founders, Amanda and Steve's hearts. 🐾 They're all about training service dogs for veterans and children, at zero cost, offering a furry friend that brings comfort and independence. 🦮 Ready to join the movement? Buy a Ticket and be part of the story that goes beyond the screen.

This was my 5th year being a voting member of Philadelphia Film Critics Circle. Every year we communicate via Discord with each other prior to nominating films – discussing stuff we saw outside of the ones being put up for awards season, which we all see via screenings and screeners. We encourage one another to see personal favorites. My big ones were the two docs I saw during BlackStar Film Festivall: INVISIBLE BEAUTY & THE SPACE RACE. Another fav I saw during Sundance from Mexico, that I don’t believe got distribution: RADICAL. And a small indie called SHARE? sent to me by a PR Agent I’d never dealt with before. But ultimately, either you can’t get enough of the other PFCC members to see your picks; or it’s difficult to get the screeners within our time frame; or not enough members are as enamored with your film choices to make a quorum. This is why it typically comes down to the same 5 – 8 movies that every other Critics Association winds up voting on; but this year was a real sweep by both OPPENHEIMER & Our Best Picture Winner POOR THINGS– review will be posted in my personal Top 20 Movies of 2023 List. HERE’S THE PHILADELPHIA FILM CRITICS CIRCLE WINNERS and RUNNERS UP for 2023... https://lnkd.in/ex2F_maG #philadelphiafilmcriticscircle #Movies2023 #filmindustry #awardsseason #awardwinningmovies #Oppenheimer #PoorThings #filmcritic #criticsassociation #films2023

We're excited to share the release of *Walk Beyond*, a film that tells its story in the most unique way—through the simple yet profound act of walking. Without ever showing a face, this narrative explores the depth of human life, love, and resilience, all conveyed through the movement of feet. Each step is a chapter, each path a reflection of the journey we all take. https://lnkd.in/geVyQz7i

This #ThrowbackThursday, we step back in time to the birthplace of American film – Fort Lee, New Jersey. The iconic Barrymore Film Center honors this rich history with a 250-seat cinema, film museum, and archive. This partnership with @barrymorefilmcenter created spaces for major retrospectives, silent film events, and emerging filmmaker showcases. Through a collaborative approach, we've woven quality and value engineering into every corner – making history vividly come alive on screen. #CCSBuildsHistory 🎥✨#CCSDifference #CostManagement #BuildingReliability #Collaboration #ExperiencedTeam #ValueEngineering #federal #ConstructionExpertise #OwnersRepresentation #ProjectManagement #CostEstimating #ProgramManagement #RiskMitigation #ExceedingStandards #CommitmentToExcellence #ClientCentricService #ServiceRedefined #QualityAndValue #StrongClientRelationships #WitnessTheSynergy #NoteworthyOutcomes #DedicationToValue #TrustInUs #wetakeonyourvalues #ccsrippleeffect #CCSmotivationmonday

Happy Tuesday Colleagues and Filmmakers! PMG are going to Cannes and we’re looking for remnant assignments to fill out our roster of activity there. So, basically, in what we hope is not too shameless a plug, we’re humbly declaring ourselves available for ad hoc Cannes duties. Need assistance with a current project, a production company or market film? We can help. Need a carpet or interview covered and you’re not available? We can help. Have a brand activation needing promotion? We can help. You get the idea. We’re old Cannes hands. You haven’t lived until you’ve walked Hugh Hefner, and Sandy, Mandy and Brandy up the montées des marches, hosted the live series finale presentation of Seinfeld, and all manner of other shenanigans. We premiered Amy Berg’s prescient documentary An Open Secret in the Marché to an audience of 180 media. This year, we’re looking after new foreign sales entity The Forge, the short film The Soul Trader’s investor screening and reception, and the upstart industry event The American Film Convention. Crowded? Always room for one more. So, folks, hope you don’t mind the gentle hustle and have a great week. Write us on heshelman@platformgrp.com if you want to talk.

Today, I stood in support of Marlow Film Studios at the Strategic Sites Committee at Buckinghamshire Council, advocating for a project that holds immense promise for our youth. It was disheartening to see the older generation overlook the struggles and crises faced by young people—a demographic that is not just the future but the vibrant present of our society. As an academic in Creative Industries at Buckinghamshire New University and a Board of Trustee member of Young Creative Bucks CEP, I work closely with young individuals. Our collective anticipation for the job creation and opportunities that Marlow Film Studios could usher in was palpable. Yet, the decision by some councillors to sideline the needs of our youth, favoring short-term political maneuvers over long-term societal benefits, was a stark reminder of the challenges we face. Despite this, we must channel our disappointment into a renewed commitment to advocate for initiatives that empower our young people. The setback we’ve encountered is not the end of the road but a call to action. It underscores the importance of active civic engagement among our youth. Now, more than ever, it is crucial for young people to exercise their right to vote in the next general election. It’s time to elect councillors and a party that genuinely supports them with concrete plans, not empty promises. This journey is far from over. Let’s harness our collective voice to shape a future that reflects our values and aspirations. Together, we can turn this moment of adversity into a stepping stone for progress. The power lies in our hands, and our votes, to create the change we wish to see. This is not over—it’s just the beginning. #VoteForOurFuture #StudentsDecide #YouthVoteMatters #ShapeYourTomorrow #EveryVoteCounts #UnitedForChange

Our New Film will be screened at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival in Nevada City on Feb 18. The film "California's Watershed Healing" profiles immediate actions to restore California's wildfire-vulnerable forests. https://ucm.edu/Dsc0vt Panel discussion afterward. https://lnkd.in/gxnVMZaS Photo shows restored forest after fuels treatment, where beneficial, low-intensity fire can be introduced. With few ladder fuels and lower fuels loads, fire is less likely to jump from ground to canopy.

Production Tips From Our Production Partners! Lesego Vorster #LesegoVorster, the Director and Co-Founder at The Hidden Hand Studios @hiddenhandstudios, shared his insightful top production tip: “There is nothing in the world that is stronger than belief. Believe you can make the best film, believe you can be the best artist, believe that your contribution matters...just believe. But belief without effort is just a wish, isn’t it? So the consistency and discipline of smart and hard work can never be replaced. With this principle, I have personally seen mediocre artists become excellent at their craft.” Unleash the magic of belief in your craft—there’s no force more powerful. Apply this advice to the New Year and let’s see you shine.💫  #BelieveAndAchieve #LightsCameraBELIEVE #ProductionWisdom
