Hello River Lovers and Supporters,
Sorry not sorry for the film pun. I'm overjoyed to share some fantastic news. We will be bringing Rave On For The Avon to cinemas nationwide in early 2025. Our first cinema booking is a 500-seater cinema in the town of Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire, home to a vibrant local arts culture.
We are working with Hebden Bridge Picturehouse to run a Q&A after the screening with yours truly and a panel of local activists and swimmers who frequent the well-loved Gaddings Dam and other beautiful wild spots to delve into their challenges. It's a dream come true to have this film gather river guardians in cinemas and you helped us get there with your encouragement and support.
You can find the growing list of screenings on our website.
Can we come to your neck of the woods?
If you would like to see us in your local cinema, let us know where you are and our Distribution Producer Sonia will then reach out to them to try to make this happen. You can drop her a message on leaveitwithsonia@gmail.com.
Alternatively, if you know about great venues that you'd like to see Rave On being screened at send her a link! Thank you to the fantastic people across the country already organising cinema screenings with us from Sunderland to Falmouth!
You can see Sonia (left) with me and Co-Producer Aggie (right) in a panel discussion at Patagonia's Bristol store, reflecting on the highlights of this year. Our IMAX preview-screening was Aggie's highlight and mine was a feature in the Guardian newspaper where the journalist really 'got' us when he wrote 'it's about people's love of the river'. We will be sharing the video our reflections and plans for 2025 soon!
The Patagonia team have been absolute champions of our film. They organised a sold-out screening at Bristol's Watershed cinema and commissioned a stunning piece of artwork by the talented Evie Grace. You can see it on the window of their store on Park St, pop by the shop and you can pick up a Rave On For The Avon holographic sticker!
