Who/What/Where/When/Why

The Fifth Ring is intended to be a window into the greater world of Chris Sturges. The world as simplified by the concept of the eXtra Dimensional Circus, which includes live events, the International Live Events Association (ILEA), Fired up Events Ltd (FUEL), the Vancouver Film Industry, Suspiciously Convenient Productions (SCP), Hive 604 Software etc. The eXtra Dimensional Circus (and Chris Sturges) sits at the intersection of live events, film, business, and the limitless creativity that people demonstrate on a daily basis. The Fifth Ring is a site and newsletter focused on stories from the film and entertainment industry, gleaned from industry news and the personal experience and opinions of our authors. There will also be an alternate newsletter called "Beyond the Big Top" which will relate to the business stories and articles of direct interest to the entertainment industry. Please subscribe so you can participate, and keep informed about the up and comping projects!
