Posted on March 16, 2011 by philshep

Three wins for Somerset Film supported young people’s films at March 15th national First Light Movie awards at the Odeon Leicester Square.

The winning teams were

Homeless young people from Bridgwater – New Voice award

Young People’s Film Council from Somerset – Best Drama

Stogursey Junior School – Best Animation

An amazing result and a very exciting event!

There were wins too for Wedmore School, Exeter Phoenix Media and Watershed meaning that six out of the ten national awards went to the South West!
