Victory To The Mimers

James Nicholas Green chats to DN about his narrative debut Victory To The Mimers, a satirical short developed alongside actor/comedian Steve Furst that takes on the iconic themes of classic miner's strike films and adds a unique and hilarious twist which will resonate deeply with anyone from a working class background struggling to make their way in the arts.

Predators

Jack King’s BFI Network supported dark, suburban slice-of-life short Predators challenges audiences to take an uncomfortable look at the duality of kindness and cruelty through the acts of a trio of children whose games in the woods take a shocking turn away from innocence.

Ponytailhead

Brent Michal gets down to it with us about his toxic relationship short Ponytailhead, a contemporary, intimate and pretty gnarly take on modern love between two unpredictable and semi-questionable lovers. Starring Michal alongside his co-writer and real life partner Pipe Verbrick, the short takes situationships to the next level.

Rocket Fuel

With his short film Rocket Fuel debuting on BBC Three & iPlayer last weekend, we spoke to Jordon Scott Kennedy about taking the project from script to screen after winning the Slick Films Fund £10K Grand Prize at Bolton Flm festival last October - an event that DN partnered on - and why he feels working class lives should be authentically represented on screen by filmmakers who've lived them rather than through hackneyed social realism portrayals.
