News

November 2016

Welcome

This is the November issue of Bright Green Penguin News, apologies for the lack of news this year. Though hope you been enjoying Bright Green Penguin on Twitter or Facebook

So I am restarting this mailout as my way of championing the creatives, charities and community I follow. Trying to cover both Brighton where I live, and London, where I work.

In this modern world of so much information and so much stuff going on, this will try to get you bite site chunks of information of what interesting stuff is out there

I am working on a Christmas Gift Buying Guide, so if you have any suggestions of great creatives out there who deserve a shoutout let me know

If you have anything you would like me to promote contact me at nick@brightgreenpenguin.com
 

Creativity

Unsatisfying Challenge
During the summer of 2016 Parallel Studios created and directed a video about unsatisfying situations; the frustrating, annoying, disappointing little things of everyday life, that are so painful to live or even to watch
They realised that there are a lot of other situations that would be fun to see animated, so they have set up the Unsatisfying Challenge. See here for details unsatisfying.tv
#BrightFuture

They have launched #BrightFuture an opportunity for people to get involved in the conversation. Using the hashtag share your ideas on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
