That came around quickly! Well it’s Movember time again and for the 5th year running I am raising money in the annual awareness campaign fighting prostate cancer via the most manly of man things to do….GROW MOUSTACHES!!
It’s incredible to see this campaign beat big banks and other teams showing that the indie filming community is a fantastic and generous bunch!
You will most likely know someone who has either been taken by Prostate Cancer or thankfully beaten it. It affects so many men it’s terrifying. Thanks to Movember each year, a huge amount of money is raised to help fight this.
Movember has now expanded to be more of a “Men’s Health” campaign, also combatting Testicular Cancer and Mental Health issues!
This is such a worthy cause, and with your help each year, we can help fight these!
Below is a video from a couple of years ago that I made about my own family’s personal experience with prostate cancer.
There will be a prize draw again this year but no film competition. The main reason is simply I actually don’t have a day off this month. I am solid working in England, Denmark, Australia, Van-uato and Brazil. A big chunk of that is for the new CNN series I am shooting, which has taken up enormous amounts of my time. In fact, I was very worried I wouldn’t be able to do Movember this year via the large fundraiser because of this.
Thankfully, as she did last year, Joanna Ely has stepped up and will be running the campaign behind the scenes. THANKS SO MUCH JO!! She was brilliant last year and I know will be amazing this year too! Her email is JoMo@philipbloom.net.
We will be contacting as many camera-centric manufacturers as possible – anyone who makes anything connected to cameras and filmmaking – in the hope of getting them to donate a prize for the draw. You can see the quality of prizes by checking out last year’s page! If you have something which you think will appeal to people and want to donate it as a prize, please contact Jo!!
We already have the prizes rolling below so check them. Also HUGE thanks to these companies and individuals. Couldn’t do it with you! There are LOADS more to come!
Jo will be writing to everyone to see if they can help, but again, if you make something that fits the bill and want to put a prize up please contact Jo at her email address.

3: Make sure the amount is at least £15 (roughly $25) You can donate more of course, but £15 is the minimum to qualify entry into the prize draw.
4: You can enter as many times as you want and as long as each donation is at least £15 you will get another entry for the prize draw. Just make sure you forward me your receipt to Movember@PhilipBloom.net. Once you get the auto responder (which asks if you attached receipt) then your receipt has been received. You do not need to send it again.
5: It is open to anyone in the world not restricted to the UK. If it is asking you for a UK postcode you have clicked on the wrong link at the start. Click here to do straight to the donation page.

7: One prize per ticket apart from the DJI prize which is a double prize of the Inspire 1 and Ronin. You can win more than one prize if you have donated at least the minimum amount more than once. In theory if you donated twice and had two entries and luck was on your side you could win the A7s AND the Shogun.
8: Any import/ duty taxes are the sole responsibility of prize winners. If you win something you don’t want please email asap to let us know and we will do a re-draw at a later date.
9: The prize draw will be on the 21st December at a time to be decided. Sorry it cannot be any earlier but I will be away on a shoot from the 10th until the 19th.
10. You are donating directly to a organisation representing the charities, nothing goes to me. This is not a lottery, this is not gambling. You are being thanked by me for helping raise money for Movember by your receipt being entered into a prize draw for all the gear the many companies have donated.
