Nepal Film Festival News Featuring Allied FX

With the 2nd Annual Nepal Cultural International Film Festival streaming from December 1st to the 29th, it is really gratifying to know that the work is paying off and that the Allied FX team is on board to support this: Allied FX are amongst the most respected brands in the FX market and understand the difference that makeup can be in a film, especially for character work and stand tall with their portfolio of clients and body of work hitting the highest marks in International cinema and TV.

Combining these two elements of the Nepal film festival showcasing international talent in cinema with Allied FX is a huge coup and shows the creatives that are behind the films are respected, redefining boundaries and bringing a whole new level of artistry to Nepal is something that the festival organizers are passionate about with their training and Q and A Sessions designed to bring about a creative dialogue.

Taking a commercial and intellectual stance on the film sector this media partnership is going to change the game of many artists in the FX realm both pros and trainees allowing a greater dynamic of creativity.

The collective Push of The Lost Team

In the last few months, we have been able to build some interesting relationships with brands and companies, taking steps toward our ultimate goals and aspirations slowly in light of the market changes that are underway to the film and TV market in particular which have opened our eyes to other potential avenues that The Lost can explore and has given us a collective push to work around boundaries. There are some interesting updates that even we are waiting for updates on as contracts (with non-disclosures) are being drawn up to affirm a new and exciting partnership.

Over time we intend to build a host of new creative images incorporating some of our favorite makeup and brushes that will be used on our creative director JamesC’s website as well as our own, with our magazine work coming to a close on the written side to focus on the massive backlog of shoots to be edited and curated across our multiple sites and blogs. Editing processes have been slowed down but are still happening and by mid-December, we will have new additions to the galleries and a new fashion/editorial specific gallery for the JamesC Website.

Nepal as many will be aware plays a large part in our work and we are very proud of that with the NCIFF (Nepal Culture and Film Festival) alongside our partners Nepal Film Production, it is interesting to see the work coming together so cleanly.

The Lost Creatives shoots are going well and while not yet public (magazine deadlines and release scheduling outwith our control) we will be working on the much more comprehensive Lost Boys/Girls concept which we are going to shoot exclusively in North Ayrshire and have already picked out some significant spots that fit our brief. As much an intellectual exercise as it is a photo project it will be the focus of our energies and a chance to clear some cobwebs.
