Can’t believe that a film I couldn’t/didn’t want to finish 6 months ago got me my first win at a film festival! My debut as a writer - and for sure an ambitious one - first time working with a big crew, first time working with actors, countless days and nights in the edit suite, rewrites, tears - you name it. Thank you to Festival Courts D'Un Soir for programming my film and the jury for choosing it as the best short in the under 21 category among other strong contenders! It means so much to have my silly (at the time 18 year old) vision backed by such prestigious, professional opinion. Thank you also to SHORTIES where the film had its first test run earlier this year, and Minute Shorts where it’s available to stream, and to everyone that supported me on this journey� Couldn’t have ever done it without the brilliant team behind “Blueprint”, love every one of you xxx #mumimadeit2hollywood
