Matt lands job on The ONE Show!

On 2nd March 2009 Matt Wenham will begin a three-month contract working on the topical magazine show ‘The ONE Show’. He is very excited at the prospect of working on what has now become BBC 1’s flagship show and is in fact the biggest single commission outside returning drama that the BBC has ever handed out.

The Secret Life of the Airport

During January 2009 Matt Wenham worked on a three part series for BBC4 called ‘The Secret Life of the Airport’. The films follow on from the critically acclaimed series ‘The Secret Life of the Motorway’ which explored the history and cultural impact of Motorways in Britain. The ‘The Secret Life of the Airport’ will be similarly following the development of airports from sites of unalloyed glamour and delight, to spaces with more complex associations. A social history of how airports came into being, the series is also an affectionate and entertaining look at how we got used to living with them and the ways in which they changed us. It will be broadcast later this year.

Matt Wenham has worked alongside top documentary camera operator Richard Adam, to shoot interviews with key figures in the aviation and airport world, including the designer of Stansted airport Sir Norman Foster. He has shot actuality at Manchester airport and researched editorial content from the BBC offices at White City.

New DVD and book available!

DVD: The Kingdom in their Eyes - From St Albans to South America

Includes footage shot by Matt Wenham Media on location in Bolivia and Peru and footage from Toybox's 15 year birthday celebrations in St Albans.

When Adrian and Bridget Plass travelled to Bolivia and Peru it wasn't simply for a holiday or to visit the typical tourist hotspots. They went to catch a glimpse of the real South America. From the presidential palace in Lima to some of the poorest communities in the mountains of Bolivia, this was an incredible journey. A journey full of challenges and surprises. A journey they'll never forget.
Through this DVD, Adrian and Bridget invite you to join them on this journey. With footage not only from their travels but also from an event in St Albans which took place shortly afterwards, this is classic Plass with a Latin American flavour! Combining humour, poetry and story telling, Adrian and Bridget entertain, challenge and encourage as they introduce us to children who really do have The Kingdom in their Eyes.

DVD AVAILABLE NOW!

Book: Fountains in the Dust - Snapshots from South America

Features photography by Matt Wenham Media taken on location in Bolivia and Peru.

Up on a hill amidst the dust of Lima, as evening begins to draw in, a weary group of travellers want nothing more than to return to their hotel for some much needed food and sleep. Moments later, as they walk through the large gates in front of them, they step into a fountain.

Fountains in the Dust is a Latin American adventure in a book! Combining photos, stories and poems, this book will take you right to the heart of some of the places where Toybox currently works. Laugh at the travelling tales, cry at the injustice and smile at the children who really are fountains in the dust.

Publish date November 2008. AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER!
