Chief Executive of North West Vision, Alice Morrison said:
"Short films are becoming more popular and are now recognised as an important art form in their own right, not just a means of identifying feature filmmakers of the future. We are proud of the filmmaking talent that we have discovered in our region and the recognition that these films and the talent associated are receiving on a national and international basis".
