VisitWales “Shoot Wales” winners announced
Recently VisitWales invited students and graduate film-makers from Welsh Universities to submit a short film of 3 minutes or less that celebrates Wales as a contemporary holiday destination.
On 22 July the winning films were upload to VisitWales’ YouTube account and can now be viewed by anyone who’s interested in checking out some great holiday ideas and the early work of a future Spielberg, Jackson or Attenborough.
The winner of the first prize was Rhiannon Tate from St Davids, who is studying film at the International Film School Wales at Newport. Rhiannon won a £2000 career development fund and one week’s work experience at advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy (nice).
Rhiannon’s film is about how a family run ice-cream van at Abereiddi beach in Pembrokeshire, which sounds like a great place visit.
The runners up were Jim Birket, for his film on Llangorse Activity Centre, Aaron McKeene and Laurie Cameron for their film on Lloysey Farm, and Ewan Jones Morris for his film on the Green Man Festival. The runners up each receive a £500 career development fund.
Well done guys, let’s hope this is just the start of a great career.
