Election Day 22nd May 2014 and Thornton's Budgens re-launch

Relaunch of Thorntons Budgens

Belsize 

A big thank you to Andrew Thornton for inviting me to the store relaunch event which I was pleased to step out of my busy election schedule to become the first Independent Councillor in Belsize today.

I wish Andrew together with his iconic Budgens store continued success.

My "HAPPY in BELSIZE" film for Belsize concept taking seed

A lot of interest is being shared with me whilst campaigning with you since my announcement last week on my idea to do a HAPPY Pharrell Williams film through the streets of Belsize, especially from the students of The Royal Central School of Speeches and Drama based at Eton Avenue here in Belsize.

I have meet a number of students expressing a real interest to do this with me if I can put together the film crew .....

..... Guess what whilst calling on door steps I have meet several local Belsize based film makers so this is now beginning to look as if this project that started as one of my many concept films may grow wings during the summer, hey we need the sun right! 

I am also exploring getting sponsorship for this from film companies so we can get access to a RED epic or BlackMagic with there brand new 4K systems to do this in super crisp cinema quality.

Much to do after the elections, but most important will be the street performers and that's YOU! Calling all the youth from Belsize that have interest in dance, break-dancing and singers. You have seen the multitude of Pharrell Williams Happy music videos, so you know what the look is. 

I am looking to create something hopefully unique for Belsize, something that is a statement of all that is cool in this area of Belsize and especially our treasure of having the world famous "Central" as our neighbours. Perhaps the disused Fire Station and especially that fireman's pole may feature in this film! If I can get filming permission for this Grade II listed building and also the setting tenant still living there.

Just to get all of you thinking here is a great high end example from Berlin that is the sort of take I have in mind, but naturally scaled down for Belsize!

#HAPPY in BELSIZE

Watch my #HAPPYDAY film HAPPY in BELSIZE

#HAPPY in BELSIZE filmed in Belsize Park and surrounding area as part of the International Day of Happiness.

Many thanks for the wonderful music that Pharrell Williams has made available for this #HAPPYDAY event.  It has been the biggest hit ever in its inspirational qualities to all and especially the young that it has inspired to great things.

As part of this I am planning and hope to make a "real" #HAPPY in BELSIZE music / dance film later in the year.  With that in mind I call upon all the local dancers, break dancers and generally fit youth that would like to offer their free time for this venture.  I also call upon all my film making community to again offer their free time to help make this the very best that Belsize community can offer to the world community in the spirit of the Pharrell Williams series genre of countless films from nearly every free country in the world.

Thank You

Nigel Rumble

Postscript: 

It is hoped that the community will be able to enjoy the peaceful and calm atmosphere that continues to draw the multicultural community to wish to live in Belsize Park for years to come and not have this wonderful area "blighted" by a decade of civil engineering madness with HS2 train link.
