Best Experimental Short Film (Armadillotown)
A couple of months ago I blogged here about the making of my short film, "Armadillotown", mentioning that it had made the final selection in the upcoming Sykehouse Film & Writers' Festival. That festival took place over the weekend of the 16th-17th May, and the film was premiered at the event. Despite my initial trepidation, the film found an enthusiastic audience and I had some lovely feedback. I
