‘Foot In The Door’ First Two Trainees

The Foundation are proud to announce the first two recipients of the Mark Milsome ‘Foot In The Door’ Mentorship Award.

Following a final round of interviews at Panavision London a panel of eight Foundation members selected Daisy Allen (Falmouth University School of Film and Television) and Davey MacDonald (University of South Wales).

Both Daisy and Davey are preparing to graduate from their three-year BA course and will meet with the MMF to discuss how they can best be supported in the next year, to bridge the gap between full-time education and entering the film and television industry.

They Did It..!

 

They did it! On Sunday 24 February, Alex Parish, Alex Hollowbread and Jack Metcalfe ran the half-marathon in Naples, Italy. We are so honoured that they made the Mark Milsome Foundation their charity of choice. At the time of writing, they have managed to raise an impressive £2,533 — more than twice their original target figure when they launched their campaign back in November 2018! And it’s all thanks to your generosity. We can’t thank them, and you, enough.

We wish them a safe journey home and look forward to catching up with them soon. More photos to follow, but for now, we’ll leave you with this picture of our champions and their Mark Milsome T-shirts (of course!) on completion of their 13.10969 mile run (or 21.098 km if you’re in Italy)…

A Personal Thank You From The Milsomes

We are humbled and thankful to each of you for your incredible support, generosity and love in remembering our dear Mark on this very difficult first anniversary of his passing.

The extraordinary response to Black T Week has completely blown us away. It is truly overwhelming and we are so proud of Mark. I know he would be astonished by all this and wonder what all the fuss is about.

Remember him always. He lives on in our hearts.
