Passionate about theatre ? .....or film.....

The UKTheatre.TV, USTheater.TV and UKFilm.TV are a network of websites to support theater, and film. Around the UK, around New York and New Jersey, downtown Chicago or over in Philadelphia. Believe it or not, our biggest visitors are from the Washington State itself, though that may have been because we received 5 hits from Iran. Web page hits that is.

I'm the webmaster, director, owner and chief customer services enquiries assistant and I have generated over 1,000,000 visitors in the first year of our new content management site which allows members to edit directly onto the page. It becomes an ideal place for reviews, previews in both the theatre and film worlds.

I'm an Oscars accredited press agent and a member of BAFTA in the UK and I founded a 26,000 member film casting network with two colleagues from the BBC and C4 in the UK. I then had to get passionate again with theatre and set my websites higher (pun entirely intended), and have grown exponentially around the world.

As an actor, I like the cross-over with the performing arts and the new media of Apple Podcasting. Look under UK Theatre Network in the Itunes podcast directory and you will find a filmed performance of Hamlet in Manchester and a BAFTA awards ceremony in Scotland. More are already in the pipeline and I could also be visiting your area in the summer- in the middle of a personal theatre route I'm filming around Manchester, London and Edinburgh. New York and New Jersey are on the U.S. agenda and I'm trying to time the journey with big regional theatre or film festivals.

On the journey I'm hoping to meet up for a drink, coffee and a chat and shake hands with the great and good and do a little interviewing, reviewing and previewing where you are.

I'm also looking to build the foundations of the network in the key cities and from there it depends on the local community of actors, directors, producers, casting directors, agents and press to manage, support and promote theatre within their area.

With the simple editing tools you can cut and paste pictures, press releases, audition and casting notices, listings with your weblinks all for free.

Gold members get even more access privelages to upload films, create uktheatre.net webspace and webmail and even get a step by step guide to marketing on the web with links all setup for you. We've been number 1 in Google, AOL,MSN Search and more recently Amazon's new site in partnership with Microsoft - A9.com.

There are also affiliate status for those with an entrepreneurial flair who are capable web marketers and have connections within the entertainment and new media businesses.
