About
About MCP
MCP:
Media | Cinema | Projection
MCP is the working identity for Peter J. Knight's practical, editorial and technical work. It has grown from Mad Cornish Projectionist into a wider home for consultancy, training, writing, research, technical development, archives and platform ideas.
That authority is grounded in projection and cinema technology, editorial work for Cinema Technology Magazine, long involvement with the Cinema Technology Community, audiovisual and event delivery, archive and product experience, and a habit of joining up subjects that are too often kept apart.
Rooted in cinema. Relevant beyond it.
