Now I know that the DVD is a little behind schedule – but believe me I have a good excuse! As you can see me and my wife had a little baby girl a couple of weeks ago and as such it has stopped us getting the DVD out on time. But rest assured we are back on the case and we hope to have it ready in a couple of weeks.
I know you are having to wait – but isn’t she cute…….

My man Stu was a very busy boy on the day of the Summer Academy gig taking lots of photos of us all. We’ve put a selection of them up here for your viewing pleasure.
Work on the DVD is going well and we expect it to be ready for release in the first week of October. We’ll of course let you know when you can get hold of them!

Another Summer Academy has been and gone – and it was a really incredible week I can tell you. I won’t post much here but very soon we’ll get online some photos from the gig and movie trailers for you to watch. We may not get them up straight away but trust me they will be worth the wait!
Thanks again to all who took part and especially the mentors for all their hard work.

So – it has taken us quite a few months, well nearly 3 to be precise. But the DVD of this years summer academy is finally ready! It has taken quite a lot more work than I had envisaged – but man, it was so worth it. Putting the DVD together had reminded me of just what a fantastic week it was, how stunning the gig was and what a great laugh it was to be doing creative things for a whole week.
The DVD was put together by myself and Mark Rose who did all of the video editing. He worked very hard at that and so a huge thank you goes to him. The DVD is packed with extra features including a directors commentary (well perhaps not a directors commentary, but me, Mark and a few others!), a behind the scenes movie shot by the video mentees as well as all the Banzai videos we made for the week.
I’d love to hear any comments you have got about the DVD. Also if you would like to order any extra copies then you can do so on this page. Order them and we’ll send them right out…
