We are delighted to welcome Tim from Utah Saints, another fantastic example of Leeds talent, to our judging panel especially as he is on the road so much at the moment and… in the studio!  He joins Rebekka Kill, Mark Hubbard and Nicola Greenan as well as Pier Van Tijn, Alan Raw and Ash Kollakowski!  It’s a great panel.

Our latest addition to the judging panel is Ash Kollakowski from Bad Sneakers Records, who represent Wild Beasts and many others.  Ash was recently behind the scenes at ‘Under the Stars‘, along with Rebekka Kill, bringing us a great night with iLIKETRAINS and Crayon too!  Check out his blog The Iron Wagon.

Big Red Button has produced music videos for The Rakes, Quasi and Mr Midi through Agile films.  They have also produced Virals and Third Screen content for Frank, Microsoft and Ford Ka. They were three times finalists in the Nokia Short Film competition (2003-2005).  Check out Pier and partner Johnny Burns work here, or go see their latest work on the Frank Cocaine commercial or Perrington Stud made in association with the Getty Images Short & Sweet Film Challenge.
