Multi task

Here we go...

The idea is the following...

An advertising/branding/graphics agency based in Birmingham. What's the USP? The agency doesn't really have any employees. Only me (as creative director and co-ordinator), an accountant, an interviewer (human resources), a computer programmer(for the website) and a receptionist.

The agency undertakes some projects and hires ppl to work only for a specific project each time - for a specific amount of money (50-60%). These ppl will be either interns, freelancers, inexperienced, or even ppl who want a second salary...

If it's an easy job - like to create a web page, the freelancer can do it home and receive the 60% of the project's money, otherwise if he wants to come and work in our place he will receive 50%. If it's a job that needs more ppl, they will come to work in our space. For this reason we need a big multi-tasked space in a cheap area..

We also need computers, software, offices...

The website of the company is very important because it will be updated daily and we'll upload the new projects. The applicants can send a CV and if we decide they are the right ones for this job, we will contact to arrange an interview.

If the company does well, we can hire more creative directors to help the teams work well.

In order to make the company known, we 'll contact universities and relevant departments (like our program), but also send emails to companies...

I'll update my idea when something has been added or changed...

I'm open to any suggestions...

CashBack review

I always like when short films become movies in the big screen. It reveals that a young writer/director had a really great idea that deserves to be seen by many people. In this case it really deserves it. This movie is one of the best I 've seen this year. It is a romantic comedy but also contains some great dramatic sequences and an astonishing direction by Sean Ellis. Starts with an unforgettable scene when you see the hero's ex-girlfriend shouting against him but the only thing you hear is classical music.

Plot: Our hero is a 20-year-old guy in an art school, studying painting. After a painful break up with his girlfriend, he has totally freaked out and developed insomnia. Since he's broke as well, he decides to work the late night shift in the local supermarket... His artistic imagination in addition with the weird and colorful people working there, creates a very entertaining story...

Watch it if you liked Garden State, The Last Kiss and Little Miss Sunshine.
