 the media lunch club |
|
the media lunch club was established in 1994, by producer Martin Cahill, as a non-profit making, and politically neutral, networking society and has grown to become the film, tv and media industry's premiere café du commerce.
Monthly lunches are held in London's West End (and a Brighton away-day lunch during the summer), with an invited guest speaker. Some of our previous speakers include:
Producers Jeremy Thomas, Duncan Kenworthy, Michael Kuhn, Michael Cowan, Nik Powell, Marc Samuelson, Richard Holmes and Jeremy Bolt. Directors Roy Ward Baker, Vic Armstrong, Jack Cardiff, Ronnie Neame, Guy Hamilton and Ray Harryhausen.
Executives Stewart Till (Former Chairman The Film Council and UIP, now head of Icon), Lenny Crooks (New Cinema Fund, UK Film Council), David Thompson (former head of BBC Films), Peter Bennett-Jones (Tiger Aspect), John Woodward (CEO, Film Council), Jane Lighting (CEO Channel 5); Sir Roger Moore (Actor \ Director); Patsy Pollock and Jon Hubbard (Casting Directors); Robin Duval (former director of BBFC); Dr Kim Howells MP & Shaun Woodward MP (former Film Ministers); Victor Spinetti (Actor); Nina Myscow (Broadcaster); Richard 'Jaws' Kiel (Actor \ Writer); Simon George (Ealing Studios Productions) & many, many more.
the media lunch club also hosts a couple networking evenings each year, such as our prestigious 'Cahill Memorial Lecture' (guest speakers include: Greg Dyke, Tim Bevan & Stewart Till); Question Time; The Film World Meets The Book World, Quiz Night and An Evening With ... many of which are free or subsidised to members. In 2009 we launched the first year of our 'Short Circuit' competition - a search for the best ten minute short film script, judged by a celebrity panel and the top three scorers were subsequently staged at an actor's read-thru, with the voted-winner being shot as a film in January 2010.
In 2009, the additional bi-annual 'Briefing Lunches' were introduced, to focus on a more specialised subject in an intimate board-room setting. These lunches are free, and have proven very popular.
Membership is inexpensive and open to all in the media business.
