Twenty Twelve

A mock-documentary following the challenges - both personal and professional - faced by the team responsible for delivering the biggest show on Earth: the 2012 Olympics. From getting a busload of non-English speaking Brazilians from A to B, who to appoint to run the Cultural Olympiad and what to do when the much-vaunted wind turbines won't turn because there's no wind, it's all in a day's work for the men and women whose job it is to stage the greatest sporting event in the world.

    Raising the Bar

    Apr 4, 201129 min

    Dave Wellbeck is an ex-athlete, double Olympic silver medalist and in theory a natural choice as Brand Ambassador for Raising the Bar - a scheme to get young people inspired by Olympic ideals.

    Cultural Curator

    Apr 11, 201129 min

    Equestrian Controversy

    Apr 18, 201127 min

    The decision to hold equestrian events in Greenwich Park is one of the most controversial choices made by the Olympic authorities.

Over thirty years have passed since his one and only successful film, so he's had a lot of time to think about how angry he is and to plan his campaign of protest.
