The producers of a comic book film are returning to Birmingham to give a talk about their work.

Phil Bland, Matt Hubbard and Adam Hamdy who filmed part of Pulp at Millennium Point, home to Birmingham City University's city centre campus, will be talking at the monthly Creative Networks event, which is organised by the University's School of Digital Media Technology.

Set in the world of comic book publishing, the film centres on a character called Tony Leary, owner of the fictional Junk Comics, who is drafted by the police to help catch a gang of criminals. Last year part of the comedy was filmed at Millennium Point and some of the University's BSc Television Technology & Production and BSc Film Production & Technology students helped to crew the production.

The three film makers will be attending the Creative Networks event on Thursday 31 March to speak about their unique approach to moviemaking and the bigger picture of enhanced 'storytelling' across multiple forms of media.

The trio have recently agreed a deal with AOL to launch an online comedy channel built on the Pulp comedy brand. Senior Lecturer and organiser of the Creative Networks events, Dave Taylor, said: "This is an example of the kind of opportunities that are being opened up by the convergence of digital and traditional media.

"Called 'Transmedia' it is the technique of telling stories across multiple platforms and formats, so that consumers can become more immersed in a story's world."

The talk entitled Transmedia - What's the Story? marks the 66th Creative Networks event. Creative Networks is about bringing all parties involved in sound and screen-based media in the West Midlands together. This includes the diverse and often disparate creative companies, freelancers and associated businesses in the region.
