Photos From Our Launch Party

Posted by OwnAFilmCompany.com on January 14, 2009

If you’ve been to this blog, or visited our website lately, you will know what we had a launch party for our new website, last Thursday.  It’s a bit difficult to write up a launch party – it was a party – there were drinks and food and music and people – but luckily we have photos to do the write up for us.

The party did include an auction of film memorabilia, in aid of Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), registered charity number 1050845.  We had planned on a silent auction, but as you can see from the photos, that didn’t really work,  so we held an impromtu normal auction.  Most of the items sold and the four that didn’t, are available for online auction now.

These photos were kindly taken by Tony Halford of Tony Halford Photography.

Online Film Memorabilia Auction, in aid of Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY)

Posted by OwnAFilmCompany.com on January 13, 2009

We still have a few items left, after our launch party with silent auction, in aid of CRY, so we are going to try to sell them online, before returning them to our supplier. These are 3 day auctions, so be quick!

These items, as with all those in our silent auction, were supplied to us by a third party, at a reserve price. The reserve price goes to the supplier. Everything over and above that goes to CRY (after Ebay and credit cards fees etc have been deducted).

All items were signed in person and come with a certificate of authenticity.

All reserve prices are listed here and we will close the auction early, if a suitable offer is received, so contact us, if you would like to make an offer.

If you cannot view the auction below, click here.
