ABOUT POPCORN MEDIA
Popcorn Media was founded in 2010 as a trading name for Andy Johnson-Smith's part time self employed freelance work, creating digital backdrops for community and professional theatre throughout the UK.
It soon became apparent that clients wanted to use Andy's wider skills and knowledge of technical theatre, so investment in projection, lighting & sound equipment began.
In 2015 Andy left full time employment as techncial manager to pursue Popcorn as a full time business. Things grew quickly, and in 2017 Popcorn Media became VAT registered.
Several projects and national freelance tours followed, and after a long chat with an artist collegue in 2018, Different Light was founded, aimed at delivering high quality, budget friendly projection and lighting events - helping local communities to see their town in a differnt light!!!
During the Covid years, with indoor theatres unable to operate, Andy took on the renovation of a small exhibition trailer, and Little-Stage was born. This was closely followed by a second smaller stage - the Band Wagon - first used as a Covid friendly, socially distanced, mobile performance space touring care home car parks and back yards.
Since then, the umbrella business of Popcorn Media has worked on a wide variety of events in the corporate, community, theatre and events sectors. We've been involved in award winning pop-up venues, Light Night events, supported creative and literary artists, festivals, designers, producers, local authorities, students, exhibition companies, woodturners, The Princes Trust, singers, building and heritage projects, food festivals.... to name a few! Not bad for a one person operation -
with lots of help from a bunch of VERY talented, specialist freelance technicians & crew!
Our story continues, and it would be great to add you to the extensive list of very happy clients....
