Speaking out...

mFEST will be talking to young members of the festival team in the run up to the festival. We caught up with young marketer Calum MacKay to discuss how the programme launch for mFEST went, and what he’s looking forward to at mFEST.

Calum: The press launch went really well. It was really bustling with press and supporters of the project. And the pastries were good too.

Me and the Documentary Team were kept busy filming the whole thing. Interviewing and getting peoples stressed faces on film. It was really good when we got an interview with Daniel Sloss. He was so funny and can’t wait to see his show at the festival. Telling all the journalists to watch out because ‘in 30 years you’ll all be dead’.

Thankfully the press were not too insulted and we still got published in the papers the next day.

All of the tickets are on sale now so go out and by them! I will certainly be buying a ticket for Axis of Awesome. The Musical comedy sensation that received rave reviews at last years Fringe. They are sure to be bigger and better his year, and with them performing three times over the weekend there’s no excuse for missing them.

Here’s only one of their great songs:

And another one just for fun:

Also on my must see list would have to be the film Time Bandits, You could almost describe it as the Mighty Bush mixed with Clash of the Titans but with dwarfs. Don’t understand how? Well you’ll just have to come along and see.

Here’s the Trailer

Also the highlight of the film program will defiantly be Little Miss Sunshine. Not only because it is one of the funniest films of all time but it is an outdoor screening! This will be the penultimate show at the festival and shall be buzzing with an amazing festival atmosphere, guaranteed!
