So, we held or third annual ThinkSync Film Party on Wednesday 30th July onboard HMS President. The night was a great success with a full to capacity venue for the entire screening event and party, which took place as part of the Rushes Soho Shorts Festival. Big apologies to all those that didn’t get in - it looks like next year we’ll need a bigger venue.

The films were all really well-received however, Robert Hindle’s ‘Rohypnol Love’ won over both the audience and the jury, which comprised of Joe Bateman, Todd Eckert, Jo Hartley, John Hassay, Miranda Sawyer, Iain Smith and Andrew Weatherall.

A big thankyou to Bronzerat Recording’s artists ‘Congregation’ for playing live as well as to Andrew Weatherall, Nathan Gregory Wilkins and DJ Goodhand for supplying the soundtrack to the after-party. Also, thanks to all of our partners in the event - MTV2, Rushes Soho Shorts, Shooting People, New Producers Alliance and Raindance as well as Budweiser and Gaymers for supplying the drinks.

In it’s third year, ThinkSync Films aims to search out, celebrate and reward creative, independent film-making talent with particular attention being paid to the role music plays. For this year’s competition, a hand-picked assortment of 40 tracks were provided from a selection of esteemed UK independent record labels and publishers and made available as free downloads for entrants.

ThinkSync Films has continued to grow in strength for it’s third year as the night proved to be successful in number and stature.  The call for entries for 2009 is due to be on 1st November, and details will continue to be posted on the ThinkSync Films website – www.thinksyncfilms.com
