Our film wins honourable mention at UK awards

A Fish Out of Water, our first animated short film, has received an honourable mention in the prestigious UK Film Awards.

An IMDb-recognised awards event, the UK Film Awards describes itself as being "dedicated to celebrating excellence across independent cinema, with a particular focus on performance, storytelling, and film-making craft".

Previous award winners in acting categories have included Stephen Fry, Noomi Rapace, Jason Watkins, Eddie Izzard, and Alan Cumming.

"This is a fantastic honour," said producer and co-writer, Andy Weltch. "To be highlighted in this way at such a high-profile event is serious recognition for our project and for everyone's contribution."

Set in an alternative version of the 1890s, A Fish Out of Water, directed and animated by Matthew Creed, follows Henry Godliman (voiced by Robert Daws), a 'chronicler of the extraordinary', who arrives in a small coastal town to hear the stories of three sailors, just back from a long voyage. What he hears may change his life!

You can find out more and watch the trailer on the film's IMDb page.

The film is now lined up for a series of screenings at community cinemas and film clubs. It was also a finalist at Horsham Film Festival in Sussex.
