Very happy to announce that our short film SLAP has been nominated for a BAFTA in this year’s Best Short Film category! ♡ I am so very grateful and proud of our cast and crew, and the incredibly supportive parents of our young cast who helped make this all possible. I wrote, directed, produced, edited and sound-designed SLAP on a tiny budget of under £1k. It took 3 years of energy and commitment to see it through to the end, a dedicated cast and crew of talent who worked for free, so it feels incredible to receive this recognition today. Thank you to the Bafta team and judges for this gift, and I send everyone on the SLAP team all my love and gratitude for your amazing work. Thank yoooouuu!!! x
