Get your action on TV

ASEED UK is inviting campaign groups from around the world to send in video material for Hot Spots — a weekly five minute radical environmental activist bulletin to be shown on Sky Television.

Sky TV is a satellite station which broadcasts to millions of viewers in Europe. This is the first time that environmental and economic justice groups will have their own regular international TV news.

Each bulletin will carry four to five stories which have happened in the last three weeks. Each item will be between 15 and 90 seconds.

Hot Spots will be made from footage shot by campaign groups. ASEED is therefore inviting groups to send video footage of their direct actions, press stunts and campaigns events. All formats are acceptable.

Send no more than 10 minutes of footage per story including:

  • general shots over which ASEED can explain the campaign issue

  • interviews which give a brief overview of the issue

  • shots of action (protest/meeting/press conference/stunt)

  • a list of what is shot, who is interviewed, and a summary of the main story.

Send to: Thomas Harding, ASEED/Small World, 225A Brecknock Road, London, N19 5AA, UK.
