Short Film Gems for 2009/2010

| | Comments (2)
tattoo.jpgI Love Luci has been mentioned on the Scottish Screen website and their latest press release regarding short films coming out of Scotland this year.

"I Love Luci is a witty, tender tale of missing teeth, unrequited love and one dog's potential to shape the fortunes of a couple destined never to be together.  The film is written and directed by Colin Kennedy and produced by Brian Coffey for Sigma Films, one of the most exciting production companies in Scotland. "

Scottish Screen Feb 2009

Brian and myself went along to a screening of a number of the films yesterday.  It's great to be alongside such a talented bunch and some very good short films coming out of Scotland at the moment.

It's probably not a good idea to talk about favourites but I'm going to anyway. 

On the program yesterday were two stand out bits of work: The Bedfords by Henry Coombes,  a brilliantly surreal film about Sir Edwin Landseer, the painter, and an affair he's said to have had with the Duchess of Bedford; and a very touching documentary about Alzheimers called Irene by Lindsay Goodall.

Another fantastic film not shown yesterday but due to be finished any moment now is Believe by Paul Wright (Advance Party II).

"Believe is a compassionate and poignant portrait of one man's grief and desperation following the death of his wife. Paul Wright, highlighted as an exciting new talent by Screen International's Star of Tomorrow programme. He has already won fans and a BAFTA Best Short Film Award with his student film Hikikomori. Believe is produced by Rhianna Andrews of Young Films."

Scottish Screen, Feb 2009

All I have to do now is finish I Love Luci and then people can start seeing it!

PS Thanks to Sue Upton for mentioning Luci on her blog.  If anyone else wants to link here please feel free to do so.

well that's a great thing and your post has really helped me in getting out of this trouble. I have recently completed my comptia a+ and now working hard to get some job for security+ certification or comptia security+. That's why couldn't get time to find it myself....

I want to say that we have been in initial contact with Fox regarding Frijolito, Go! and would like to thank you very much for opening that door.

Angela's Decision," has been produced in Australia 642-655 by award-winning director Mat King. It is now making the film festival rounds in 2007. It has received a Gold ACS Award for Best Cinematography from the Australian Cinematographers Society. It received Honorable Mention in the George Lindsey UNA Film Festival for Best Feature.EX0-101 One of the film's songs, "Run To Nowhere," composed by Christopher Slaski, was a finalist in the Garden State Film Festival's film music competition. And it's on to the Phoenix Film Festival next. Hopefully, this is just the beginning for the film. (In some festivals it is considered a short and in some it's a feature due to 70-284 its length of 48 minutes.) Thank you for your competition. It really does mean a lot to screenwriters to receive recognition, which in my case resulted in getting the script produced.

My journey with American Gem has done so much for helping me realize my own dream. I feel like I can make it, writing for a living... After I completed The Gardener, 1Y0-A05 I felt that the script actually had a voice. I researched online for the best short screenplay contest. You guys are it!

American Gem’s intentions are genuine. Few contests honor the short script form the way they do. They don’t present themselves as a “fly-by-night” kind of organization by any means. And to have the chance to compete and have your short produced is too good to pass up.
