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.

John QuillThe Rev'd John Quill is a Church of England clergyman living and working in a parish in Hemel Hempstead; he earns his living as a self-employed management consultant. He is married to Samantha and has two (grown up) children, two grandchildren and two stepchildrenHe is Vice Chair of the Diocese of St Albans Board for Church and Society and is an active member of the Board's Environment Group that engages the Church and others in matters to do with the environment; John tries hard to deliver the message that these matters are urgent and need addressing now! At a practical level he and Samantha try to practice this message by driving as little as possible, using bicycles or walking, signing the "low fly" pledge, recycling what they can, and generally banging on about the environment to everyone around them! John is keen on the Transition Town model and believes the Church of England's parish structure lends itself to helping establish local, resilient communities where we can support each other through whatever changes we are facing as the climate changes us. He is also interested as a priest in how climate change, peak oil and associated issues can help us face religious and spiritual questions about our mortality as individuals and as a society – about what's important in our lives and how to find and contribute to meaning and purpose. |
