Design Production for Print//Mailshot Audience.


Considerations for future design developments in context- creating mailshots and invites. Here are a list of potential recipients- largely film and television critics and writers, which, at the event would create more of a promotional "buzz" and encourage members of the public to attend with renowned approval. 
(All information sourced from specific Wikipedia pages, as linked below, unless otherwise stated) 




Found a great site for Fan mail contacts- not the idea route for mailshots (would take a long time, potentially, to contact the individual, may not read it themselves etc) but would just need a great deal of forward planning to ensure that the invite would arrive on time.

WES ANDERSON (well, a girl can dream...)

Wesley Wales Anderson (born May 1, 1969)  is an American film director, screenwriter, actor, and producer of features, short films and commercials.

He was nominated for a 2001 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Royal Tenenbaums. Anderson has been called an auteur, as he is involved in every aspect of his films' production. His films employ similar aesthetics, using a deliberate, methodical cinematography, with mostly primary colors. His soundtracks feature folk and early rock music, in particular classic British rock. Anderson's films combine dry humor with poignant portrayals of flawed characters – often a mix of the wealthy and the working class. He is also known for working with many of the same actors and crew on varying projects.

Retrieved the address of my friend, Rob, who won The British Film Institute's Young Filmmaker 2010 for his short film last year... keeping more of a balance in the audience in terms of age/profession, yet still maintaining a film- saavy audience and guest list.
