London, United Kingdom, December 20, 2008 --(PR.com)-- OwnAFilmCompany.com will hold a launch party for it’s new website, at Oxygen in London’s Leicester Square on 8th January 2009. There won't be any boring presentations or sales pitches, just a party, with cheap drinks and the first 50 members to arrive get a free drink.

The launch party will include a silent auction, of film memorabilia, in aid of the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young ( CRY), registered charity number 1050845. A silent auction is a fundraising technique frequently used at charity events. It differs from the typical auction conducted by an auctioneer who calls out the prices. Instead paper bid sheets are placed near the items, on which people write down their names and bids. This allows people to bid on the items in their own time, and allows them to enjoy the party when not bidding.

The majority of the film memorabilia will be supplied by a third party, at a reserve price. All proceeds over and above the reserve price will be donated to CRY. Anyone interested in donating items, that will be auctioned at no reserve, with the full price going to CRY, should email party@ownafilmcompany.com.

The launch party is a ticket only event. Free tickets can be booked at http://ownafilmcompany.eventbrite.com/.
