Chief Productions Sets Kashmiri Beekeeping Doc ‘Pot of Gold’Chief Productions, the UK-based indie, today announced the production of a new documentary titled Pot of Gold in partnership with global humanitarian relief and development charity Human Appeal. The film marks the first fully foreign film to be shot in the mountainous region of Azad Kashmir in Pakistan. The film follows beekeeper Shakeel Khan who has committed his life to learn about the nature of bees and their delicate work. However, his story takes a turn following the impact of the most destructive earthquake the region has ever seen. The film is produced by Billy Offland and directed by Olivier Richomme. Colin Offland is Exec Producer, and Alan Hamilton is the writer. Colin Offland, CEO and executive producer at Chief Productions described the story as “poignant and distinctive.” He said: “It has been an eye-opening and fulfilling experience to be welcomed as the first fully foreign production team in Kashmir, and we’re grateful for the team at Human Appeal for allowing us to bring this story to the screen.”
London Underground passengers confused as hundreds board trains in underwear
09.01.2023 - 13:17 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Passengers on the London Underground were left confused as hundreds rode the tube in their pants. MyLondon reports that the stripped down commuters were taking part in 'No Trousers Tube Ride Day'.
The annual event was back for the first time since the pandemic yesterday to the bemusement of many passengers. The idea comes from New York where people started the No Pants Subway Ride back in 2002.
It was transitioned across the pond by the The Stiff Upper Lip Society, who brought the event over to the UK. It takes place on January 8, with the point of the event to make people laugh.
The event's founders claim: "There is no agenda for the event apart from a desire to make others laugh and smile." There is no formal membership needed to take part and all anyone needs to do to get involved is just to take the Tube without your trousers on.
Ivan Markovic, the founder of The Stiff Upper Lip Society said: “We're not raising money, we're not raising awareness – we're just creating a moment."
"So I think the philosophy is to create a scene. We want people just to smile, to have a positive reaction.
"And the problem is once you start, if you start trying to make a statement or raising money for any charity, someone will always find a reason to object to whatever charity that you choose to support.
"So it's just purely an abstract concept. We just hope to make people smile and to bring a degree of levity into their afternoons on Sunday."
Despite the day taking place yesterday the fun is not over yet for the group, which has over 2,500 followers on Facebook. Today was also the inaugural trouserless tube ride on the Elizabeth Line.
