This is the last news update for 2009, our first year as New Treatment. It has been a crazy and eventful year and we couldn't have done it without our team, our clients, our freinds and their support. We look forward to seeing you all at our Christmas party to celebrate together.

Many many thanks for a great 2009 and looking forward to work with all of you again in 2010.

Now the last news for 2009:

Features: Our feature film 'The Knot', written by Davie Fairbanks and Noel Clarke is now fully packaged and it is currently doing the rounds with investors. The package even features a video interview with Noel Clarke, writer / actor on the project. Watch this space as we hope to announce positive news early in the new year.

Our shorts 'Conversation piece' and 'Enemy within' have started a very successful festival run. Both shorts entering selected festivals and quickly establishing themselves on the international circuit. We hope to be even more successful next year.

In the meantime we are developing another short to be directed by 'Cinema Extreme' Jesse Lawrence and to star Junior Nunoo and a well known female performer. Details soon.

On the development side we are supporting young writer Florence Codjoe with her new short 'I will offend ya', a moving portrayal of life in a young offenders institution. The short is currently with B3 media and we hope it will be selected for Blank Slate 2010.

We also have another couple of shorts in the pipeline.

Our documentary 'Uspomene' about concentration camps during the Bosnian war in the 90's, is going from strength to strength. Director/Dop Mirko Pincelli went to Bosnia in early October and came back with some amazing footage. 3/4 hours of footage were then cut into a trailer that was shown to potential investors and co-producers at Sheffield Doc Fest. The film went down really well and gathered the support of Aegis Trust, the leading humanitarian organisation. Via our collaboration with Aegis it looks like we should be managing a meeting with broadcasters very soon.

We will have trailers available for both 'Uspomene' and 'Hannah' on our Christmas show reel, to be shown at our Christmas party.

We have also started working heavily on a couple of promising TV drama ideas.

We completed the November shoot of Cordless Show, with three artists performing and interview with BBC Andrew Missingham. The December shoot is scheduled for the 10th December and will feature 7 artists including the first signed artists gracing the new Cordless stage at media Hub. For the first time we will also shoot Cordless show 'virals', all shot and post-produced on RED @ Media Hub.

Another couple of ideas for web-shows are currently in development and we have great plans for at least one. More announcements in the new year.

MUSIC VIDEO

We are officially launching our 'work experience in Media' scheme with young people from schools in Lewisham this week. The lucky young person will be able to assist the completion of the set of 'Cordless show' and perhaps even assist to a music video shoot. Any young people (14 to 19) who would like to come for work experience at New Treatment should get in touch with the office and ask for Rachel. Alternatively they may want to get in touch with Youth Services @ Lewisham.

We also continue our long running collaboration with Exposure and are developing new exciting partnerships in Lewisham. We look forward to develop this further in the new year.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE and all the best wishes for a wonderful 2010

Enrico, Junior, Fergus and team
