YOUNG PEOPLE SHINE AT THE PINKS
On 25 October 2008 The Tabernacle Arts Centre in Machynlleth hosted our annual Pink Snowball Film Awards where the work of young, budding and amateur film makers was showcased to a full house.
The event is an extravagant night of red carpet, limo’s, short films and “Hollywood” style glamour. Projects are run annually by FILM 15 Productions to enable access to opportunities to make films and over 100 young people from the area have been involved in these films productions over the past twelve months.
A panel of special judges selected winners in several categories for a Pink Snowball Award. This years Judges include: Bollywood super star Mayur Raj Verma, Script writer Barry Simner, remote celebrity judge Julian Rhind-Tutt and our resident judge Lembit Opik, MP
We were very proud to show a selection of films from our FILM 15 project as well as premiere our Bollywood inspired short film Dream Girl.
The Pink Snowball Film Awards has been a hunting ground for local talent over the years and many of the young filmmakers have taken their films on to national and international film festivals and won many more awards. Through this event we aim to encourage people to try something different and explore their creativity through the medium of film.
This years winners are
Pink Open- Paul Bullen- Anne’s Wedding
Pink Open- Runners Up- Giles Thaxton- Ember Music Video
