RELENTLESS ENERGY ROLLS THE CAMERA FOR YOUNG FILMMAKERS…

We know all of you fancy a bit of pocket money, (who doesn’t!) and what better way to earn £5,000 than coming up with ideas for adrenaline and extreme sports films?

Relentless Energy presents Short Stories, a challenge to recognised core sports and music filmmakers around the world to explore, reveal and define No Half Measures through the medium of film.

Next year Short Stories will see entry to the competition opened up to aspiring core sports and music film makers from around the world and will continue to grow from there. Starting early 2011, Relentless Energy will call on willing entrants to submit their ideas for No Half Measures short format films with the best candidates invited to bring their ideas to life.

The brief for these films is simple, bring Relentless Energy‟s No Half Measures motto to life: turning the uncompromising attitude of those leading progression in their sport‟s arena into passionate and stunning short films.

Each invitee will receive a production fund plus access to Relentless associated athletes who can be used as the subject of their film. From there it’s up to the invited film maker on how they unearth and present their story.

The four stories will debut at a premiere event later in the year where the winner will also be announced – this will also officially open the 2011 event.

Here at The Eleven we think it’s pretty hard to truly impress us. So when something comes along and does, we know it’s gotta be good. That’s exactly what ‘Viajante’ has done, an exciting, original and authentic restaurant in the former town hall of Bethnal Green. The chef there, Nuno Mendes, has travelled the world so knows a thing or two about different cultures. He’s seen every ingredient and tasted every spice, and now he brings them all into his meals at Viajante. Combining this knowledge with an unrivalled passion for food, you’re sure to be satisfied, whether it’s a light 6-course meal you want, or a slightly larger 12-course one. Check out their website for more info and booking details: Viajante

In The Eleven we trust!

Ben — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:28:47 +0000

So tomorrow’s the big day… the day that could make or break you. The day that families will be talking about all over the country. The day you’ve been waiting for all year… of course I’m talking about the fact that tomorrow is the 231st day of this year. If that doesn’t excite you as much as it does us then maybe you’re concentrating on other things, maybe your exam results for example.

But what if A Level results don’t quite work out for you? Or what if you’re planning a gap year but have no idea what to do in it? Well then, it’s time to take a look at our second clip for Tante Marie cookery school, who still have places left on some of their courses for next year, and listen to what Gordon Ramsay has to say!
