Short Film (Shortlisted for Maniff 2019) 'An Artist's Story' www.emmatwedie.art

As well as my day job as a creative, I am also a part-time artist. This film was a personal project which sets out the story of my artistic journey. This short documentary the challenges and creative struggles experienced to date and explores the influence my Irish roots and surroundings has on my work. It also highlights some of the materials I use in my work and where I hope to progress in the future. Shot on location in Northern Ireland, at at my London studio I worked with filmmaker Rob Reed from Bear Cave Films. This was subsequently shortlisted in the short film category as part of the prestigious Manchester International Film Festival 2019 and received its premiere on the big screen at the Odeon Manchester. I worked on creating the concept, drafting the script, location scouting and production logistics. I also worked on music selection at the rushes stage. Special thanks also to stylist Laura North.
