Denise Channing

Denise Channing spent much of her young life around the Hollywood media scene in various forms, including band management, talent scouting, song writing, writing stories and articles and generally socialising with people involved in the entertainment industry. But despite her attraction to media, she never had a desire to perform. She found more satisfaction in organising events, publicist work and stage management. But Los Angeles could not hold her forever, her real home was in England. Denise returned to England permanently in 1993, living in Yorkshire for over 6 years before moving to Norwich in August 2000. She spent several years quietly writing and putting her administrative skills to good use, until the screenplay for Dance of the Goblins convinced her that her combination of talents was ideally suited to film production. She registered the company Goblin Films Limited on 30th September, 2005. It was named for the series that was the inspiration for its formulation. She quickly displayed a particular talent for bringing the right people together to get the best possibly quality films made at minimal cost, and devoted herself to developing the British film industry as a personal cause, partly because she was dissatisfied with the quality of the films that were being churned out by the big studio corporate machine. After a lifetime of meeting talented people who often found studio executives inaccessible, Denise resolved to develop new talent as well as bringing known actors who hadn't been lost to the glamour of show business into the 'Goblin Circle', as those involved with the Goblin books and films have become known. Involvement with a Norwich Arts group formulated a film interest group, and Denise organised local actors and filmmakers into a working group, making no-budget B-movies. The first of these, Graveyard Shift, is in post-production as of 2010 and the second, Old Blood, is more than halfway through production with plans to finish in Spring and Summer 2011.
