The Summer holidays are nearly over but I crammed a lot in and it has gone very quickly.  I recorded a part in another radio play for the BBC called Black Dog and I performed a small role in the American T.V. series, The Royals, just recently.

It was great fun and the set was stunning.

I also submitted one of my own short films to an American film festival.  I did everything in it.  I acted both parts and scripted, filmed and edited it.  I was hoping for a recognition in the production.  However, I was delighted to get a nomination for best actor under 18.

I  have been using my time off school to produce some docu/info short films.  I am aiming them at children my age and showing them that you don’t have to be an adult to do this sort of thing.  I have put a link on below to my Youtube Channel.  Take a look at the films and if you like them, please subscribe to the channel.

I am looking forward to starting at Elstree UTC in September where I will be doing Film Studies, and other industry related courses.

The Global International Film Awards run competitions for new film makers and they have a section for under 18 years old to send in their entries   I sent in a short film I made myself . There are many categories  and I was delighted to get a nomination in the under 18, Best Actor section.  I have had a nomination before for my interview/documentary style film where I interviewed Matthew Modine about smoking.  I am going to send another film in soon and maybe third time lucky, I will get an award, fingers crossed.

Derek vs Derek is a short film by Sebastian Barner-Rasmussen.  I was introduced to Sebastian by Edward Hemming. I did a short film with him when I was younger.  Derek vs Derek is a thought provoking film. Have a look at the trailer here:-
