Kiwi Knights are set to go!

Max & Dave - The Kiwi Knights

For the last few months, we've been preparing for one of our biggest adventures yet. We are sending two Kiwi guys off on an epic journey that will see them take in 14 countries, cover 5000 km, and take almost a year to complete, all on foot!. That's right... they're walking the entire 5000 km.

Their journey starts this Sunday (15th August 2010) from outside the Templar Church in London, where they will be setting off for Portsmouth, walking the same footsteps that the original Knights Templar did over 800 years ago. They will be blogging daily about their entire journey so we've set them up with a website, which they can publish to directly from their mobiles just by sending an email with a picture or video attachment. The guys will also be filming the entire trip in HD, sending back footage weekly for editing and uploading to the blog. This footage will also be edited and purposed for TV.

We are also looking for co-production partners to join us on this multimedia adventure, so if you are interested in getting involved, please contact Viv via our contact page.

Broadband TV for Wales

Today the Welsh National newspaper, The Western Mail features a story about Surf City in its business pages ...

Surf City TV has joined forces with Newport-based VIP Film Productions – the company behind Franchise News 24 - to put Wales on the map as a leading country of online development.

Vivian Mainwaring, managing director of Broadstroke Productions, said:

"The strength in Broadstroke is production. Unlike many broadband suppliers we have
experience making programmes, which will be invaluable as the service gains popularity. The content needs to be good or people won’t watch. We believe broadband TV can be a democratic force in Wales, enabling the general public to have a voice."

As these services expand throughout the UK all towns and cities could potentially have their own dedicated local broadband TV service delivering entertainment, documentaries, sport and news to various niche audiences.
