Between us, Swalcfilm have the contacts, skills and experience to cast,produce and shoot your script and turn it into a potential award winner.
So, we made our target to finance and produce and shoot one film and we’ve spent the last week or so deliberating over the shortlist to send to our esteemed professional justices. It was an incredibly tough decision with some difficult choices to make, but the final shortlist has been made and is going to our judges to await their decision in early January. Prizes will be mailed out in the next few days, hopefully in time for Christmas. Congratulations to all our winners and commiserations to those who didn’t make it – the overall standard was tremendous, but these were the five (in no particular order) we finally decided should go through.
