Hello.
My name is Joe Barcham.
I am a Derby based Film student.
I like Video Design, Image Motion and Filmmaking.
I have produced work for MamTor Publishing, the collaborative Artcore project Side Effect Euphoria, the award-winning Koroshiya Films and for my own film/video/design project [trash][this][room].
I generally use Adobe products on a PC platform, but can easily work with a Mac when necessary.
I am currently working with MamTor on the comic adaptation Viking Zombie Elvis (VZE).
I am also working on two projects for [trash][this][room].
Fire in the Minds of Men is a very punk documentary following the independant record label Fight Me through the recording, touring and promotional phases of various bands on their roster, including Fixit Kid, You Judas and The Swarm. I hope to complete the film in the Autumn, just in time for the Winter documentary festival season.
I am also currently in pre-production of Super 16mm short film 'Happy Viktor'. I will post further info on this project via my blog as events unfold.
I worked as a chef for a while as an experienced and qualified Chef d' Partie/Sauciere.
I am also a qualified teacher/trainer of English as a Second Language, and have taught in Barcelona amongst other places.
I adore playing music.
I play guitar in the Ali Pow3rs Band, Trumpet/Cellotar/Voices in Side Effect Euphoria, synthy Japanese electro beats in Astroboy Can Save the Planet and contemplative ambience in Captain, my Captain.
When I am not manipulating pictures or playing notes between A and G# on various instruments, I like to watch other people's movies and listen to other people's music. Sometimes I like to eat.
I have uploaded some examples of my work here - please feel free to leave (constructive) criticism. I intend to substantially increase my portfolio over the next 6-12 months, so let me know if you need any work done.
Thanks for checking out my page.
Joe.
