Art Asylum

Art Asylum is ostensibly a video/film collective at the moment, but it seeks
to utilise, encourage and develop skills and ideas in every discipline of
the arts that we come across in LS6 and the surrounding communities. Our
initial projects have been focused around shooting local bands in local
venues (including the city centre) on miniDV and editing it for their/our
myspaces, with the option of creating DVD copies for sale or the bands to
use as demos to get gigs or recording contracts. In the process, we provide
exposure for local venues too. We also use our footage to help publicise
events and raise awareness for local community groups such as Oblong itself,
Cloth Cat, Unity Day, Mothers Against Violence, Raise The Roof Promotions,
No Title Magazine, etc. In the not too distant future, we aim to be making
pop-promos, documentaries and short dramas/comedies, and whatever the
limitations of our imaginations and other resources allow.

To see some the work we've done to date, visit www.myspace/zebratag or
www.myspace/casmoviesandmusic. An Art Asylum web-site is in developement. If
you live in LS2, LS3, LS4 or LS6 and would like to get involved get touch
via Oblong or myspace.
