Speaker Profile - Tim Sparke
 |
After 15 years working for big media: Disney, BBC, Thames TV, and AP; Tim set up MercuryMedia to offer ‘Independent Film to Independent People’. In 2007 the company launched a theatrical division, specialising in radical doc’s for limited release. Mercury’s newest venture is Joiningthedots.tv, a place where quality journalism and passionate documentary sit side by side. Tim believes that documentary film has never been more important to the world than it is today. Through technological advances, audiences worldwide can now watch films which previously were deemed unsuitable for mainstream consumption, and make up their own minds! The films Tim’s company represents bring out uncomfortable juxtapositions and highlight hypocrisies that might be lost under shallower examination. Feared by governments, corporations, and people with much to hide, Mercury’s films shine bright in an otherwise dark world. |
