LVS student wins 'Best Film' at UK film awards
LVS student Angus Mitchell, Year 11, has won a 'Best Film' award at the British Film Institute's annual Future Film Awards.
The awards showcase young film talent for the under 25s, and were held at the National Film Theatre on Friday 5th February. Angus's film, ‘Time Out From Work’, won Best Film in the Under 18s category, and tells the tale of a man who discovers he can time travel after showing up late for work one day.
Angus, from Courage House, said: “I was really pleased. We thought we had won the award for Best Newcomer, but it turned out that we had actually won Best Film! It was a really great evening.”
Angus made the film with a group of friends from a summer holiday course with Slough company Resource Productions. He said “I have been going on the courses for about three years. On this particular course there were four of us.
“Together we came up with the ideas, produced a storyboard, wrote the script, acted, filmed, directed and edited. We all took turns with all the different procedures. My favourite aspects of the whole production are the filming and the editing.”
Angus has since made more films, one of which was screened in Slough’s Queensmere shopping centre and which uses footage from Slough Museum to show how Slough has changed over the years.
