CALM launches major new suicide prevention campaign

A fantastic charity and great use of the song 'Bring Me Sunshine'. We are delighted to support CALM in their latest major new suicide prevention campaign. The campaign, which features an installation of smiling portraits in London, aims to raise awareness around suicide and explain that 'suicidal doesn't always look suicidal'. To do this, CALM and adam&eveDDB have created an installation of photos of smiling people, that is displayed in an outdoor exhibition on the South Bank in London. The exhibition is accompanied by a 90-second TV commercial, music supervised by James Radford, which launched on ITV’s This Morning. The spot features home video footage that similarly shows seemingly happy people enjoying life, playing with children and making jokes, before it is revealed at the end that soon after the imagery was shot, they died by suicide. Check out video below! Video Here More about CALM... 125 people a week die by suicide, CALM exists to change that. CALM’s been shouting about suicide prevention since 1997, when their life-saving helpline launched. Originally set up as an NHS pilot, the helpline started out in Merseyside, CALM became a national charity in 2006, meaning they could support people who needed us across the country.

A Win at the Ivors for Best Original Film Score

A Win at The Ivors for Best Original Film Score 'The World to Come' by Daniel Blumberg London-based musician and artist Daniel Blumberg wins Best Original Film Score at The Ivors Academy Awards. Published by Wise Music Group 'The World to Come' soundtrack for Mona Fastvolds critically acclaimed The World To Come has been a huge success. The film premiered at the 77th Venice Film Festival 2020 and was released in UK cinemas during Summer 2021. ‘The World To Come is set on a farm in upstate New York in the 1850s, the film is a frontier romance in which Abigail (Katherine Waterson), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbour Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves powerfully and irrevocably drawn to each other. Blumberg created a bold score for the film which captures the passionate intensity of the lovers’ romance against a backdrop of extreme physical hardship in an unforgiving rural landscape. Blumberg enlisted an ensemble of internationally revered avant-garde musicians. Together they created an evocative sound palette which moves dynamically from poignant, melodic motifs representing Abigail and Tallie’s characters, to extreme dissonance and textural experimentation, as the harshness of the elements and Tallie’s husband’s vindictive jealousy come to challenge the lovers’ growing connection.
