So I went to Encounters short film festival and had a great time. My short ‘Five minutes to five steps’ was screening in the best of Scottish shorts section and I was really chuffed it was selected with the other films.

 

 

The films that were screened were all really good and looked amazing.

A couple that spring to mind were ‘Eyes on the Street’, directed by David Newbigging, ‘Homecoming’, directed by Zak Hanif, ‘Archive of dreams’, directed by Tomas Sheridan and ‘Night School’, directed by Ben Soper .

I really enjoyed these films and when Scottish screen put a DVD of the showcase its definitely worth a look!

 

 

Five Steps

 

I just want to thank Scottish Screen for selecting ‘Five Steps’ for Encounters. It was a great experience. Even though I was terrified due to the larger budgets some of the other films had…I think it did okay…well it freaked out a few people which was a bonus!

 

 

 

I did make a point of going to see some of the UK film council screenings (Digital Generation 1 & 2) and if you haven’t seen ‘Pop Art’, directed by Amanda Boyle or ‘Rip and the Preacher’, directed by Michael Lennox you have to check them out. They have to be two of the best short films I have seen this year.

 

 

 

Anyways, Encounters rocked and so did the ‘Eyes on the Street’ boys.

Nice one Maas.
