Fee Plumley - Production Director

Fee has been a Manager of Stages, Projects and Technology, starting from a Theatre Design & Technology BA in 1995. Always eager to learn and spread knowledge, she completed an MA in Interactive Multimedia Production in 1998 partly thanks to her collaboration with Douglas Rushkoff in the re-creation of his novel, Ecstasy Club.

ISEA98 in Manchester and Liverpool launched her New Media career, which has gone on to include curating, training, presenting, consulting, mentoring, and adjudicating (BAFTA Interactive Arts 2002, 'Cyber Pitch' at Toronto's HotDocs International Film Festival 2003 and 'The World's Smallest Film Festival' for Mobile Commerce World 2003). Three years of working with FACT and Superflex on a variety of Superchannels have increased her interest in emerging technologies and the challenges that arise for urban and rural, old and young, national and International communities.

Since 2000 she has been collaborating with Ben Jones and others on the development of a series of wireless content projects and workshops for their company, the-phone-book Ltd.


Ben Jones - Creative Director

Ben left Bretton Hall University of Leeds in 1995 with a BA in Dramatic Arts, where he performed and lead drama workshops in schools, prisons, and community centres. Almost immediately upon graduating, he exchanged a life in front of the lens for one behind it. Having initially trained as a Camera Assistant at the Northern Film School in Leeds he went on to work on numerous adverts, dramas and features including Steve Coogans 'The Parole Officer' and '24 Hour Party People' before specialising further to become an Animation Camera Assistant.

Current credits include 'Newton and Clayton' for Manchester United Television (including the design and hosting), 'Bob the Builder', 'Rubbadubbers' and 'Pingu' for the BBC.

As Creative Director for the-phone-book Limited he has been instrumental in setting up the-phone-book Limited's portfolio, especially with regards the development of a number of online code-generators that enable non-technical people to have access to technical distribution outlets. The company's education program continues his interest in empowering communities and collaborating with creative minds.
