Martin Dew, the ex-director
of international sales and marketing at Lucasfilm THX, will be opening the
gates to the Lucasfilm estate to provide visitors with a first-hand perspective
of what goes on behind the silver screen during his live seminars. These will
be taking place in the Epernay Suite at The Indulgence Show, the new audio and
lifestyle event taking place at the Novotel Conference Centre in Hammersmith
from 14-16 October 2016.
Martin will be hosting a 30-minute
talk followed by a 15-minute Q&A to take attendees on a journey through his
career and provide an insider’s view on the golden age of Lucasfilm, how it all
started, what George Lucas was trying to achieve and how the businesses he
started were there to service the industry. He will also be discussing the
basic principles of THX, the high-fidelity audio/visual reproduction
standards for movie theatres,
its importance to the industry and how the standards created by THX became
universally employed throughout the worlds of cinema and home cinema.
Martin’s career has seen him
work at Lucasfilm during the theatrical re-release of the original Star Wars
and the creation for the three prequels. He is also a writer for Home Cinema
Choice and as an actor, he has appeared in a number of box office and
television hits including War Horse, Mad Men and G.I Joe.
Carrying on with the Star
Wars theme, UK Garrison, one of the foremost Star Wars costuming groups in the
UK, will be acting as visitor guides and will be bringing its own original
style and presence to the event.
Vernon Hamblin, producer of
The Indulgence Show, says, “Everyone know Stars Wars but many may not know much
about Lucasfilm, even though it is one of the world's leading film and television production
companies. Having
an insider such as Martin share his stories at the show will provide an insight
into what goes on behind the screen. In addition, his knowledge of THX will provide
informative content that will increase our visitors’ knowledge of the
understanding of key products and principles within the cinema sector. We are
excited to be welcoming him at The Indulgence Show and it will continue our
theme of offering our visitors an informative experience with speakers and
content they can relate to.”
The Indulgence Show is a new
audio and lifestyle event aimed at visitors who are interested in educating
themselves, acquiring, experiencing and enjoying music and all the benefits and
pleasures it brings to their lives. They want to pamper themselves with
the finer things in life, and consider audio, home entertainment and
headphones/portable audio to be elements that can enhance their
wellbeing. They are also happy to indulge their varied passions and treat
themselves to high quality, luxury products such as watches, cars, motorised
and recreational vehicles, wines, spirits, craft beer, hand-made chocolates
etc. that make their lives more enriching, fun and enjoyable.
