Rosslyn Enigma wins 4 International Awards

My producer at Tern TV , Sharon Ravenscroft just sent me an email saying " After its success in February this year at the New York Festivals International Film & Video Awards, The Rosslyn Enigma has now won third place at The Golden Gate City Awards in March in Berlin, Best Screenplay at  the International Tourism Film Festival in Poland and and Silver at The Creusot Festival in June in France. Wow! This is such wonderful achievement and truly reflective of the talent on board." 

Enlightenment in the 21st Century wins US Award

I spent 6 months in 2006 working with Colin Cameron of Lion TV as Writer/Producer/Director on a promo for the campaign to raise £350 million for Edinburgh University. Launched in October last year, the Alumni & Development Team had raised £200 million by August 2007, and the film had won a Silver at the CASE awards in the USA, where it was described as "richly layered, compelling, well integrated...an outstanding example of case stating via fundraising video".

What made it more interesting was that the University embraced my suggestion that we invite some students to make their own one minute films as part of the project and included three of them in the final programme. As the judges said, it was 'a particularly gutsy move' and it's an idea I've developed further in more recent projects.

I'll upload a clip in due course, but if you want to see the whole programme, please drop me a line.
