Maddrim Shortlisted for National Film Award
A short film by Shetland’s Maddrim Media has made the shortlist in the ‘Discovery Youth Screen Award’ competition.
‘Autumn Leaves’, which features a soundtrack by Shetland Youth Jazz, is a tribute to 80's American 'soaps' and features a tense episode of a mythical popular daytime soap opera. Where scandal abounds in the programme's production gallery!
Maddrim member Joe Christie said:
"I'm both chuffed and surprised to have been recognised at a national film festival. I feel delighted for the cast and Maddrim who did such a good job. It appears all the hard work has paid off!"
Shortlisted films will be screened Sunday, 30th October at 1.00pm at Dundee Contemporary Arts. The winning film will be selected by an audience vote on the day of the screening.
