We've some news you may not want to hear, but we're putting Distillate to bed for now to work on other interesting projects that have come our way.

But of course we wouldn't leave you without a wonderful treat..so we spoke with our friends at Hopscotch Films and they're giving us 5 double passes to see Jane Campion's new film Bright Star that opens Dec 26 on Boxing Day.

Set in London 1818, the film and tells a true story of first love - the love between romantic poet, John Keats and Fanny Brawne, an outspoken student of fashion.  Their love inspired some of the most beautiful love letters ever written.
