Who would be a media mogul ey? The last few weeks and months has seen the likes of Simon Cowell and Rupert Murdoch become the story for the wrong reasons. For months, the press were told who was in and who was out in the game of musical chairs regarding this year’s X Factor judges. Eventually we said goodbye to Danni Minogue and Cheryl Cole and hello to Kelly Rowland and Tulisa Contostavlos (Peter Dickson, the voice of X-Factor will certainly have his hands full announcing her name in full e...

The 2011 British Urban Film Festival announces its opening feature
Organisers of the British Urban Film Festival have confirmed that ‘David is Dying’, written and directed by Stephen Lloyd Jackson, will be making its’ UK premiere at the annual showpiece later this summer. It marks the acting debut of Lonyo Engele (familiar to fans of UK Garage music) who plays the male lead alongside fellow debutante Isaura Barbe-Brown. Billed as a bittersweet tale of love and lust, the film tells the story of David Brown, a confused and tormented man, haunted by his past, in which, as a boy he fell in love with his French-Caribbean mother - a glamorous courtesan who entertained men for money. Her death heralds a downward spiral in David’s adult life as he attempts to settle down with his partner (Carla). Early reviews for the film are hailing it as “raw, unadulterated mental torture both beautifully told and shot”. The British Urban Film Festival (aka BUFF) is 6 years old and continues to grow with this year’s event taking place in London’s West End (TBA). The full line-up of festival selections will be announced towards the end of July when the deadline closes for producers and directors wishing to submit films for due consideration.
