We're very pleased to announce that our Producer/Director Andy Johnstone has been awared a development grant by the Commonwealth Brodcasting Assocation CBA, as part of the DIFD funded CBA Media Development Scheme for our "Death of the NIle?" documentary film project. The CBA DFID funding is aimed at journalists and filmmakers develop projects and programming focusing on development issues in Commonwealth countries and in these tough econmic times, with TV and media budgets being cut, the scheme is more important than ever in helping to produce films that raise awareness on develpoment issues. You can read more about the CBA Media Development Scheme here:

The funding grant has enabled us to do some further research and development work on the film project and also fund a trip to Uganda for several days shooting for the film, focusing on the effect of climate change on the Nile Basin. We'll also be shooting several key interviews in the UK.
We plan to post regular updates on this blog about the film project and the forth coming trips.
More later!
