Fledgling online service aims to pair crew with productions.

The Established Network aims to connect productions with experienced crew of all disciplines.
The website, set up by the team behind My First Job In Film, a UK resource of job listings for film professionals run by CEO Sam Kirkwood, is a free resource but will add a paid-for premium offering in the near future.
Other industry endorsing the service include VFX producer Louise Hussey (Les Miserables), cinematographer Natasha Braier (The Neon Demon) and editor Eddie Hamilton (Kingsman: The Secret Service).
“Jobs usually come from personal networks but availability can be an issue. Established Network offers a solution to finding available crew all over the UK,” commented Hamilton.
“It is possible for a production to be entirely crewed from The Established Network,” added Holmes...

Raymond Benson and Peter Janson-Smith in Krakow.
By Raymond Benson
Peter Janson-Smith passed away on Friday, April 15, 2016, at the age of 93. He was a giant in the world of British publishing, a major figure in that arena for nearly seventy years. Serious James Bond fans will know him as Ian Fleming’s literary agent, the man who spearheaded the exploitation of Fleming’s 007 novels around the world from 1956 until Peter’s retirement in 2002.
On a personal level, Peter’s death is a great loss. For me, he was a mentor, a friend, a teacher, and someone I called my “English dad.” He was instrumental in the research for my 1984 book, The James Bond Bedside Companion, and he hired me to write the continuation James Bond novels in the mid-90s. In short, I owe much of my career to him.
Peter was born on September 5, 1922, in Navestock, England, which is...

Exclusive: Film and TV productions to get funding injection.
Film and high-end TV productions shooting in the West Midlands are to receive a cash boost of $4.7m (£3m) from Creative England in 2015.
The West Midlands Production Fund has recently revised its guidelines in a bid to attract more projects to the region, particularly high-end TV.
As well as increasing the maximum investment per project to £1m, the fund - administered by Creative England - will now offer a mixture of debt and equity and can accept matched co-investment from both private and other public sector sources including BFI, BBC, C4 and the Enterprise Investment Scheme (Eis) on terms to be agreed.
Creative England estimates that additional filming in the region can generate up to $50,000 (£32,000) a day for the local economy.
The £3m sum is an increase on the fund’s 2014 budget of £1.5m.

Creative England is to double its Lottery-based production dund from £500,000 to £1million ($850,000 to $1.7m) for 2014/2015.
Individual awards are increasing to a maximum of £200,000 ($340,000) per project and will now include feature films with budgets of up to £2m ($3.4m), opening up the fund to more upcoming and established filmmakers.

Hilary Mantel, Jonathan Franzen, Mohsin Hamid, Ruth Rendell, Tom Stoppard, Malcolm Gladwell, Eleanor Catton and many more recommend the books that impressed them this year
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Five Star Billionaire by Tash Aw (Fourth Estate) is a brilliant, sprawling, layered and unsentimental portrayal of contemporary China. It made me think and laugh. I also love Dave Eggers' The Circle (Hamish Hamilton), which is a sharp-eyed and funny satire about the obsession with "sharing" our lives through technology. It's convincing and a little creepy.
William Boyd
By strange coincidence two of the most intriguing art books I read this year had the word "Breakfast" in their titles. They were Breakfast with Lucian by Geordie Greig (Jonathan Cape) and Breakfast at Sotheby's by Philip Hook (Particular). Greig's fascinating, intimate biography of Lucian Freud was a revelation. Every question I had about Freud – from the aesthetic to the intrusively gossipy – was...
