Roadworks Media are now launching their 'Squash the Beef' campaign, a larger more ambitious filmmaking programme for at-risk youth in Southwark council estates with the core aim of tackling youth violence by giving these young people from some of the poorest and most underrepresented communities avenues to industry jobs, creative expression and self actualisation.
Something Nice will be documenting the whole of this year's programme, culminating in a grand screening in the local community for their families to see the remarkable affect these programmes have on their children and for their peers to gain a new perspective on their own futures, feel seen and authentically represented through their own voice.
New updates coming soon!

We facilitated the collection of hundreds of clips from our extended creative network of their favourite travelling experiences pre-pandemic. This enabled the film to have a feeling of multiple persepectives of the collective joy for exploring and meeting new communities.
We used video conferencing to interview the subjects who were living in multiple countries to keep costs down and the production carbon footprint as minimal as possible.

Explored through the lens of Australia's infamous refugee policies and the lived experience of those affected by it, these poignant, powerful and personal films resonate with current UK attitudes, foreshadowing the human impact of ‘stopping the boats’.

In this public lecture, Neil Saunders explores ideas of human and artificial intelligence from a range of viewpoints: philosophical, mathematical, artistic and memetic. Drawing on recent and historical work of Dennett, Searle and Seth and with selected readings from David Harrower's powerful play Knives in Hens by professional actors, this talk will explore how language is central to intelligence and understanding, whether that be human or artificial.
Dr Neil Saunders is a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics at the University of Greenwich in London. His research focuses on geometric and combinatorial aspects of representation theory, which is a branch of algebra that studies symmetry in the abstract.
