Coming to a screen in Rochford?

I've considered for some time how suitable Rochford is for a community film event. We have many potentially suitable venues, and such an event would be ideal for those who are unable to get to, or find it prohibitive, Southend, or other cinema "endowed" towns. I'm thinking of exhibiting films which have popular appeal and would hopefully ensure a good attendance, but who knows how it could pan out if it proves to be successful. It would be great, for example, if it was possible to devote some time to local interest film in addition to the "main feature". For now, it's very early days, but at the outset I believe it's essential to focus on ensuring such a project is financially sustainable. I've had initial discussions with The White Bus, based in North Rd, Southend, who are a community group specialising in all things film - production, exhibitions, etc, and they are supportive of provding an event in Rochford. I've also started making enquiries to potential venues. If anyone has any suggestions, or wants to help get this project off the ground, I'd be pleased to hear from you jamesbowker@gmail.com
