Our jury has put forward the following films as Official Selections, Finalists & Semi-Finalists for last month’s submission to The People’s Film Festival which culminates at our annual gala - March 2022!
Official Selections
MILK
directed by Celia Jaspers
When she sees an old man unable to pay for his milk, a young girl has a change of heart.
MILK is an Official Selection in the Micro-Budget Category.
BLINKERS
directed by Sophia Capasso
Two young women, their lives meticulously intertwined, are each on a fast paced journey to very different destinations. BLINKERS is a short film about the cracks we don’t see splitting in the rollercoaster that is modern life and how two experiences of one night can be drastically dissimilar.
BLINKERS is an Official Selection in the Low Budget Category.
THE PITCH
directed by Eno Freedman Brodmann
The Pitch is a satirical short film that spoofs the advertising industry by imagining a potential collaboration between chicken nuggets and bluetooth speakers. Starring Lourdes Hernández, it follows a call between an agency creative and director trying to one up each other on the most important product of the year...vegan chicken nuggets. Ridiculous, absurd, yet only too real, The Pitch is a commentary on the agony of the creative process until it all becomes a mess.
THE PITCH is an Official Selection in the Sponsored Category.

WHAT MAKES OUR FESTIVAL DIFFERENT?
Every filmmaker gets FEEDBACK included with the price of submission regardless if their film is selected or not.
Our CATEGORIES ARE BASED ON BUDGET so micro-budget shorts don't have to compete with fully funded films.
Winning filmmaker walks away with our £1,000 FILM FUND.
