Big news today! I just learned that 'A Poem for Lovers' has been
accepted into its first film festival! The Southampton International
Film Festival! This is particularly exciting for me as this is, not only
the first film festival where some of my work is going to be screened, but
it also happens to be my first film. So I'm savouring the moment for as long as
possible, as its not something I'll ever experience again!
I'm delighted to say that my film has been nominated for three categories in the short film section: best cinematography, best score, and best sound design. I want to say a big thank you to everyone who was involved in bringing 'A Poem for Lovers' to life, for your hard work, guidance and support. A particular shout out must go to my cinematographer Kai K. Krause, and my composer Shamoon Khatri. Some samples of Shamoon's work from this film can be listened to here:
Look out for some more sound clips of Shamoon's that I'll be posting here soon, from my latest film 'The Art of Madness'. The Southampton Film Festival isn't until October, but once it hits I'll be letting you all know how it went & how 'A Poem for Lovers' was received! Stay tuned also for more festival news regarding 'A Poem for Lovers' and 'The Art of Madness'. Hopefully this will be the first festival of many!! :).
