I’m delighted to have been asked to be on the Jury for Best Art & Performance Film for Suffolk Shorts, a new platform and competition for short filmmaking launching in January 2020.

‘We believe that short films are the future, they give filmmakers the chance to experiment and hone their skills. Telling a story in a short film takes skill and determination, but it also frees you from the constraints and influences often associated with features or traditional commissioning. Shorts are not just practice runs, they are an art form in their own right.’ - Suffolk Shorts

Suffolk Shorts features both regional and international talent, with an awards event on the evening of Friday 9th October and screening up to 40 short films on 10th and 11th of October in Suffolk’s waterfront town of Ipswich. Submissions opened through FilmFreeway on Monday 20th January for the five main award categories for 2020: Animation, Documentary, Drama, East Anglian Stories and Art & Performance Film. All the award winning films will receive a cash prize of £1000 and there is an additional prize of £500 for Best Student Film in any category. Submissions open now.
