A fully functioning democracy is useless without access to information

<p><span class="caps">CEO</span> of MercuryMedia – a funky documentary distribution company specialising in films that make you sit up and think, CEO of joiningthedocs.tv - a documentary VOD distribution platform, a place to watch cool docs online and CEO of the Documentary Distributors Association - a lobbying organisation dedicated to getting more docs shown on TV....thats the official description....On a more personal level, I am all about giving a voice to the voiceless by combining the power of film with my company's ability to persuade gatekeepers to show great films which are independently made.</p> <p>I spent a while working for studios and institutional media companies before I set up Mercury and believe I understand how they work and what buttons to push to get them to engage with great films which might otherwise pass them by.</p> <p>I love football - albeit an avid Chelsea supporter,&nbsp;&nbsp; hence me wanting to give my all to getting the Green &amp; Gold film made. (Its no fun beating Utd currently under the Glazer regime!). More importantly, I do think that by funding this film through crowd funding, we will send a message to the Glazers that the Manchester United supporters should be given the chance to own their own club.</p> <p>So if you can afford to donate a small amount, please do. I promise the film will exceed your expectations and will demonstrate that we the football loving community can achieve our goal.</p>
