A quick Blog about Rockford's Rock Opera's visit to Sheffield and the Showcomotion Children's TV and Film conference. Here's what they say about themselves:
"The Showcomotion Children's Media Conference is the only event in the UK dedicated to children's content across all media, and the inter-relationship between entertainment, education and play.
Since 2004 the conference has gone from strength to strength, and expanded its remit to the entire range of media and entertainment experiences available to kids. It now attracts delegates and speakers from Radio, Television, Film, Interactive Media, Games, Licensing, Toys and Publishing..."
... and us!!!!
Elaine and I visited Showco in the hope that we could meet people in film and TV in order to introduce Rockford's Rock Opera to them. Up until now we've kept Rockford's Rock Opera very much 'on the web' and made no attempt to pitch it as a film or TV series. It's because we wanted to prove its success as a groundbreaking audiobook and also, to be honest, because we don't know anyone in film or TV!
Anyway. To cut a long story short Showcomotion went really well for us. In fact, Rockford's Rock Opera caused quite a stir, winning the Dragon's Den style pitching competition (up against an original 'short list' of over 100 pitches) on the first day and, as a result, getting a great introduction to some of the world's to international film and TV execs.
Without saying too much. We now have lots of interest and interesting people to meet.
A big thanks to everyone at ShowCo and we will certainly let you know more news just as soon as we can. (Still happy to hear from Steven Spielberg though...)
