The Hudson River Project

The Hudson River Project is a feature length documentary by James Bowthorpe and Antony Crook. Uncomplicated in its conception, The Hudson River Project was created from a simple notion; ‘Build a boat out of Manhattan’s waste, take it to the source of the Hudson River, Lake Tear of the Clouds, high in the Adirondack Mountains and row the boat back to Manhattan.

With a simple notion comes powerful meaning, both James and Anthony wish to make a connection between the modern mega-city that is New York and the wilderness, balancing man-made with nature, streetlights and moon light, the Hudson River acts as the connecting rod between these two separate lands. The environmental and social allegory, led by James who will be making the journey along the Hudson River is sure to not simply catch eyes but to hopefully inspire, making people look at the world around them with fresh eyes and an open mindset.

With an original soundtrack curated by Mogwai those recent workings include soundtracks for Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait and The Returned, currently showing on Channel Four, this beautiful film is an adventure story to be shared.

Intern Magazine: Issue Zero

Hailing from Manchester (UK), Intern Magazine is a forthcoming, bi-annual independent print publication that focuses their concerns on interns and internships within the creative industries.

Founded by Alec Dudson, the magazine has two main objectives; to firstly provide a tactile showcase for the precocious talent that is currently working in such creative fields as interns or otherwise unpaid. Secondly, to initiative a long overdue debate about the current climate of the intern culture and its potential implications, both short and long term within the creative industries.

Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Intern Magazine saw its debut issue Zero sell out. with Issue One now in the pipeline, IDMC° are pleased to announce we will be presenting Intern Magazine on our online shop.

IDMCo Playlist No.001: Duke Street Espresso

When we are somewhere, we often focus on an aesthetic, the visual presence of an experience is at the forefront, but are we possibly under appreciating the sound that surrounds us. With each independent we visit on our journey, we find sound makes each experience unique, memorable and is often the case for re-visiting such places.This is a concept we are very keen to highlight and explore, to identify a sound that suits a surrounding which aids to curate a pleasurable experience. We believe a true sample of an independent can be captured by a playlist, a curation of sounds. Our playlist series commences with Liverpool coffee enthusiasts Duke Street Espresso, compiled by head barista Gareth Jones, mellow tones offers an ideal all day hideout.
