Read all about the world record beating People's Premiere here.

Normal film premieres are glitzy and exclusive, with nobody invited except VIPs - but the People's Premiere is different: VIPs, IPs and plain old Ps are all welcome to the world's first INclusive film launch. Featuring synchronised screenings at a staggering 60 different cinemas across the nation. With a solar-powered cinema tent pitched in London's Leicester Square, the People's Premiere is also the planet's first truly green film premiere - no greenwash allowed.

Jeremy Burke Currently based in London Jeremy is a Chartered Accountant and volunteers with The Campaign against Climate Change (who will be working with Stop Climate Chaos to coordinate the London March on 5 December 2009 and the demonstrations in Copenhagen during the climate negotiations). Jeremy also volunteers with Sandbag Climate Campaign who are seeking to provide civil society with a voice in the Emissions Trading debate. Jeremy hopes that 2009 will be the year when the politicians will actually listen to what people want in regards to meaningful climate policy.

Jodie Fowler In the summer of 2007 I made perhaps the most difficult decision of my life - to put my comfortable life in Spain on hold after ten years and to channel my energy into what swiftly became the most passionate project I'd ever thrown myself into - UK AWARE. I'd always considered myself to be bit of an environmentalist - from a rural upbringing in the hills of south Shropshire. I'd always been careful, some of my spanish friends would say anal (if they knew the English word for it that is), about my recycling, I'd always take my own bags shopping etc etc. It wasn't until I started working on UK AWARE that I realised the scale of what global warming was capable of- within my lifetime! In the last year or so however, I've also realised the positive potential there is in living in a low carbon economy and how easy it can be. We will live in a world without fossil fuels - you don't need to be Einstein to work that out, the question is are we going to use what's left of them to build a harmonious world we can live in without them or will we use what's left of them shortsightedly without any thought for future generations? Global warming is THE challenge of our species - we need to look it in the eye and tackle it head on.

Please note all these details are still provisional, as there's many a slip twixt cup and lip, and nobody's ever pulled off something quite like what we're planning before...
