Read all about the world record beating People's Premiere here.

Normal film premieres are glitzy and exclusive, with nobody invited except VIPs - but the People's Premiere is different: VIPs, IPs and plain old Ps are all welcome to the world's first INclusive film launch. Featuring synchronised screenings at a staggering 60 different cinemas across the nation. With a solar-powered cinema tent pitched in London's Leicester Square, the People's Premiere is also the planet's first truly green film premiere - no greenwash allowed.


Bill Boggia

I am a 43 year old married man with five, now mostly adult, children living in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. I have lived in the countryside nearly all my life - having grown up in South Wales. I became 'active' after the 9-11 attrocity and it's aftermath. As an oil worker - at the time - I realised, sickeningly, that I was part of an industry that waged wars to get what it wanted - that killed raped and murdered in the name of our democracy. I took part in the Stirling eco-village to protest the G8 in 2005 and I went along to the first climate camp at Selby in the summer 2006. For the first time I got educated in climate change - discovering that it was much worse than I had thought. Happily I have never worked in the oil industry since then and pretty much stopped flying as well - and, appart from activism and social change movements, also work in renewable energy. I have learned that together we can get amazing things done without the need for hierarchy and 'domineering' ways of organising. Annother world is possible, annother world is comming.
