We've recently started creating short films, which I produce and present with filming and edit in-house. These include the London Fashion Week party of fashion photography exhibition Oh! You Pretty Things at iconic store Liberty; an exclusive look at the Masterpieces exhibition at the Little Black Gallery with owner Tamara Beckwith and an exclusive chat with Turner Prize winning artist Steve McQueen at the National Portrait Gallery.New sections added over the last year are Travel and Food, in response to the increase in cultural relevance of restaurants and the demand for a more rounded experience when travelling.I co-wrote a white paper on the future of going out for Courvoisier and launched mobile app, Culture Compass, in September 2011.
