Tuesday June 3rd 2008, 6.30pm  @ The Local, Carlisle Street
 
The advertising industry is filled with talent and creative minds, ‘Tangerine’ fosters the environment for brilliant work to be presented:  Short Films, Music Videos, Documentary, and Animation, anything that is NOT a commercial.
Everyone is welcome to submit work to screen; directors, creatives, art directors, writers, editors, producers are all encouraged.  This forum also extends to UNSIGNED directors; exhibiting their work, voicing new talent and potentially being ‘discovered’ or ‘signed’.
‘Tangerine’ is the first Tuesday of each month and free to attend.  Early in the week gives a chilled vibe, have a drink after work, sit and enjoy some great films and mingle with your industry peers, old and new.
The Local Taphouse, (184 Carlisle Street) situated in East St Kilda is a beautiful venue with great facilities, beer, and food; it is comfortable, social and close to the majority of advertising agency and production company offices.
Tangerine organiser Colette Crespin, New Business Manager at ‘The Guild of Commercial Filmmakers’ moved two months ago from the bustle of Soho life in London to live in the Metropolis of Melbourne.  
Having worked with Directors including; Jonathan Glazer, Steve Cope, Mark Denton and Malcolm Venville, Colette has spent the past few years in the London Production company circuit (including Draw Pictures, Therapy Films, Red Bee Media, Academy and RSA Films) representing directors and establishing new ventures.
Observing the rapid changes within the industry and the distance created between agencies, post, production companies and crew alongside the abundance of talent and work that is not commercial based that never gets seen, a new concept has sprung.
'Tangerine’ connotes: lots of sweet segments filled with goodness all encapsulated in one skin...
“My vision is to create a grassroots environment fostering inspiration, as well as an organic forum in which to network," says Colette.
‘Tangerine’ has been established as a way to ‘bring people back together’ discussing ideas outside of the everyday work forum, encouraging challenge and inspiration from alternative directions. 
This is a great opportunity for the Melbourne Advertising industry to shine and express talent and work, as well as networking and expanding contacts.  The other nice element to this night is that there will not just be work shown from Australia but from all over the world in order to broaden thought, concepts and really push boundaries of creative flow.
Launching June 3rd and following on every first Tuesday of the month, this event aims to begin in Melbourne and expand into Sydney within the near future. Says Colette: “This night is very exciting and I can not wait to receive films, contributions, ideas and meet everyone."
