Sheffield Adventure Film Festival

Received an email from Sheffield Adventure Film Festival yesterday asking us to enter 'Ben' into their 2012 competition. I can only assume that they heard about the film and got my details from Kendal which is amazing. It is a real honour to be asked and even though it probably won't get through preselection it is really gratifying to know that the film is being talk about. Kendal this weekend and I'm looking forward to a few days of mountains film indulgence!!!

Nomination at Kendal Mountain Film Festival

Great news. 'Ben' has just been nominated under the 'Best Mountain Culture Award' at this years Kendal Mountain Film Festival. Kendal is a huge deal on the adventure/mountain film circuit and so this is a huge honour.

'The Prisoner List' gets shortlisted for the Prestigious Grierson Awards

The prisoner list has been shortlisted in the Best Student Film Catagory for this years Grierson Awards. The award which highlights innovative and unique documentaries is one of the most coverted in the industry and so to be shortlisted against hundreds of other entries is a huge honour. Nomination results are published in September so fingers crossed.

First Review of 'Ben' from the Ffresh Film Awards

Ben got its first review this month after it was shown at the Newport Film School Grad screening.

Kate Owen and Ezra Byrne’s Ben captures Ben Nevis in all its glory in this beautifully shot documentary, which stands out for the way in which the filmmakers obviously put their interviewees at ease so that they deliver unaffected, warm, and humorous tales of life on the mountain'.

Fingers crossed for up and coming submissions to the Kendal Mountain Film Festival, Inverness and Dundee.
