Thumbing through today’s edition of The Times I was pleased to find a full page write up of Exodus’ upcoming première at the Venice Film Festival.

Unfortunately, the article is fairly unforgiving in it’s description of Margate - it’s a great shame it totally ignored everything being done to improve the town - though Margate has been let down in recent years there is so much going for it’s future. We need to realise what a great future Margate can have.
In my mind, Exodus marks a turning point for the town by showing that great events can happen here and that Margate can attract the talent, resources and the funding for creative industry.

An unemployed printer and an amateur rapper are among a group of non-actors who agreed to appear in a feature film for a bit of a laugh. They never expected it to be selected for one of the most prestigious events in the industry’s calendar, the Venice Film Festival.

Have a read of the complete article at Times Online and then come back and post what you think.
