Young film-makers win awards

Young film-makers are being given the opportunity to have their films screened in front of an array of award winning film makers at Newcastle- under-Lyme College (NULC).

The second annual Heat Wave Film Festival took place on Thursday 24 May from 1.00pm – 8.00pm at the College’s campus on Knutton Lane.

Last year, former NULC student and OSCAR winner Pete Bebb returned to his old college to judge films submitted by students and provide workshops with students.

This year, students from the College’s creative courses have submitted short film entries, which were judged by Phil Bland from local film production company Reels in Motion and Dan Hopkins, Senior Media Production Lecturer at Staffordshire University.

The College also invited a number of VIP guests including local independent film maker and former NULC creative student Chris Stone, former NULC IT student Martyn Lomax, who is now the Managing Director of Production Company Humanoid Productions Ltd. based in Media City and Will Herbert, Founder and Director of Calavera Café Productions.

Award winners Sophie and Tammy Green who study A Level Film Studies.
