Poynton and Stockport Moviemakers

 

 

John Heesom

John Heesom (Chairman)

John is a survivor of the original Stockport Cine Society. John has a great sense of humour which is reflected in his ability to produce short witty films starring the local birds and wild life found in his well kept garden. John is an excellent ambassador for the PSM, a talent which comes to the fore when we present our films to other clubs in the North West area. He is noted for the impromptu remarks which he employs in the summing up of a visiting club´s selection of films.

Brian Whitworth

Brian Whitworth (Vice Chairman)

Brian is the ''senior'' member of the committee, a prolific film maker, he has recently upgraded to non-linear editing. He has a technical background which served him well as an Officer in the royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers during the 2nd World War. An accomplished word-smith, Brian is master of the ´pun´, which he employs with great ingenuity in his ´voiceovers´.
John Newton

John Newton (Secretary)

John was still working for British Telecom when he joined the ranks of the Stockport Cine Society. He has served as Club Secretary for 25 of those and has progressed from Standard ´8´ to Digital Video. John is co-ordinator for the Northern News in the National IAC publication FVM (Film and Video Maker). He has what has been described as a ''quirky'' sense of humour which he has difficulty in suppressing and is a firm supporter of the North West Film Archive to which he has contributed a number of club and personal films including a series of ''Newsreel'' about times past and present around the Stockport and Manchester area.
Alan Williams

Alan Williams (Treasurer)

After taking early retirement in 2002, Alan joined the club hoping to find help in learning to use Adobe Premiere 6.5. He was, of course, successful and is now experienced enough to have made several wedding videos, which is where his particular interest lies, as well as some entertaining films of a general nature. On joining he was perhaps not anticipating moving from the back benches. However, at the club AGM in December 2006 when the post became vacant Alan stepped into the breach. In true treasurer fashion, he took an overseas holiday within weeks. The pressures of the job obviously quickly took hold!
