This month’s catch up… Event Production Awards announced Secret Cinema does Casino Royale Immersive film company Secret Cinema has announced the theme of its next event, which will take place in summer 2019, as Bond film Casino Royale. Secret cinema constructs events which blend live theatre with set design in hidden locations, themed around a different movie each time. They often encourage attendees to dress in costumes themed to the film, or to play a character from the film’s universe. A screening of the film in question is the focal point for each event. Although details of Secret 06 Cinema’s next event are (naturally) scarce, their website reads: “The world of espionage has changed. Are you ready to enter a world of high stakes, sophistication and deception? “Operate in the shadows or be in the heart of the action where the risks are great, but the rewards are greater. “Should you accept, you will receive your mission briefing, including; alias, target location and further classified information. The time has come to find out if you have what it takes.” Tickets for the summer 2019 event went on sale 6 December. It’s time once again to reflect on a year of event industry excellence, and put your company or event in the running for an Event Production Award. The 8th annual EPAs take place on 14 March at Novotel London West, from 6pm. The awards are a celebration of the great and good of the outdoor events industry, recognising suppliers, agencies, production teams, and the events themselves. 22 categories have been announced for this year, including the Industry Legend Award and Access All Areas’ Supplier of the Year. Entry deadline is 18 January, and interested parties should head to www.eventproductionawards.com for more information, and to apply. At last year’s event, the Industry Legend Award went to Roger Barrett of Star Events, while Event Production Company of the Year was handed to Hawthorn. The Event Production Awards are sponsored by EEP, Visions Group and Ace Crew.
