Abergale needs your help

Hi, my name is Abi Bremner, I graduated from the University of Lincoln in September 2011 with a first class honors degree in Media Production. I am currently living in Brisbane, Australia and wondered whether anyone from the School of Media has any contacts out here that they could put me in touch with.

I am currently looking for work experience and internships to develop my cv so that I can then begin applying for more senior roles and positions. Any feedback or advice would be greatly received as I really want to try and get sponsorship out here and in the long run apply for residency. Look forward to hearing from you, Abi Bremner

If you can help, please comment on this post, or contact Peter Dewrance, lismalumni@gmail.com.

Lincolnshire TV

We have started a community TV channel, but with a difference. When the government decided not to award Lincolnshire a channel on Freeview, our thoughts turned to IPTV. Then we thought, why just IPTV – apart from ecommerce, websites are a bit old hat, so we went for a full social media presence.

We only began in earnest a few days ago, so please have a look, tell us what you think and please “like” us on Facebook!

Script editor praises LSM students

Script editor Merle Nygate gave a guest lecture on 20 Feb and mentions LSM script students in her blog 

Merle writes:

“Last week I had the pleasure of guest lecturing at Lincoln University. I was talking to second and a few third year students about TV: the industry and craft…….If I’m among a sparky bunch of students, as was the case in Lincoln, there’s an almost palpable buzz around them. And when I go home, I take some of that buzz away with me.”
