Aaron Deakins, a south west born actor fresh off working on Back to Back productions and working and contributing with Broken Record pictures has now found himself returning to a certain short film project he had worked on and helped with less than two years back.
Tape 51 was a small budget film which was filmed in the found footage style of horror. Directed by Adam Nancholas and co written by Aaron himself the short film centered around his character who was a medically discharged, but not all is as it seems and Aarons character David Mason goes straight to his friend Alex to try...
And I thought rugby was a big-hearted game. Not after the report today that newly redundant Flybe staff were turned away at the gates by Exeter Chiefs, despite having won tickets. The circumstance of Flybe’s disappearance were nothing to do with individual staff, who are victims of the airline’s collapse and are surely worried about their future. What an occasion to show a bit of compassion, not to mention fairness – the tickets were fairly won, there should have been no question of invalidating them later, least of all in a humiliating public manner. But no, no Flybe, no...

In the wake of Flybe going into administration, local authorities and partners have joined forces to support Flybe staff affected by the announcement.
Devon County Council, Exeter City Council, East Devon District Council, Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership (HotSW LEP), Exeter College and Exeter Airport are leading an urgent response group.
Flybe is estimated to be worth around £98.5 million to the local economy and provided around 1,000 jobs directly in the Exeter and East Devon area with a further 620 jobs supported by the business.
A jobs fair is being held in Exeter to support those affected by the collapse of city-based airline Flybe.
The event is being held on Tuesday (10 March) at Exeter Corn Exchange and has been organised by Exeter City Council following Flybe going into administration.
Everyone is welcome to attend – not just former employees of Flybe - and can turn up on the day. The Council is also looking for more employers to come along to the event.
A number of big companies and recruitment agencies have already booked a place at the jobs fair, including BT, the NHS and Screwfix....

Despite the defeat, the Chiefs still lead the way after 12 rounds of battle and Head Coach Hepher is hoping that lofty position remains firmly in place...
