Agents 10:10 and Green – this is not a noir movie

For those who have seen Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, the colour code is hopefully a familiar reminder of the iconic 1990s movie.

For the less avid film fans, the British Embassy is looking for 10:10 agents to act as our private eye squad and spot places/things across Romania that are energy wasters. We have just launched a competition that will award the top 10 most compelling evidence of eco-breach. There is also an über-prize available, but I will let you discover what it is when you join our green initiative.

And if you want to stay green, there is another opportunity in the pipeline: the Embassy is promoting Odyssey 2050, an animated film that invites YOU to write the plot and reflect on the fate of our planet by 2050. Bear in mind that the film is produced under the technical supervision of the director of animation for the film Avatar! You can be the co-author of the next episodes and be in touch with an international online film crew!

Do you like this idea that the film plot is shaped by the audience? Do you feel it is engaging?

I joined the British Embassy in 2004, and have ever since
enjoyed one of the most diverse and challenging jobs as a professional
communicator, from partnering up with MTV Romania to promote the UN
anti-poverty agenda to handling Prince Charles’ press conference on a
hill top in picturesque Transylvania. One of the highlights working for
the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has been the introduction of an
internship scheme in the Embassy; we bring along students from various
backgrounds to help us deliver our objectives while they get a unique
opportunity to learn hands-on about diplomacy.
I am a former TV journalist, specialising in foreign affairs, and a
Fulbright scholar. I hold a Master of Arts in Information and
Communication Studies with California State University at Chico.
I am a major cafe latte fan and like to collect hand-painted icons.
My other hobbies include travelling and watching movies with friends,
particularly Quentin Tarantino’s. The latest memorable film I watched
was District 9, a superb science fiction with a social twist – anybody
seen it?
