This is our first news update of 2010, so you can get some idea of how busy we've been! As our work on the Social Work Codes of Practice videos is coming to an end, we've been focussing more on the entertainment side of things.

Over the last while we've increased our output of sketches and competition entries, as well as working hard on some new scripts for a wide variety of projects, so keep your eyes peeled for those and keep checking our youtube accounts (http://youtube.com/manaliveblog, http://youtube.com/manalivestudios) for new sketches or short films.

Below you can see our entry to the 2009 Comedy Smalls competition. It was well-received although pipped to the post for the award this time...

Some of our other vids have also been fortunate enough to get featured on the homepage of thesmalls.com. Click HERE to check out their site.

We've also been working closely with 'Jarvis' on a programme of teaching for drums that will be released on DVD soon. If you made a New Year's resolution to learn an instrument, maybe it will be just the thing for you, although your neighbours might disagree!

If you'd like to learn more about anything in this news section, please CONTACT us. You can also keep up-to-date by following us on TWITTER or checking out our BLOG.

Thanks!
