These two projects along with the additional six in the shortlist will appear on a compilation DVD.
Sam Clark, Education and Emerging Film Makers Manager at Entertainment Imaging, Kodak said, “Kodak is committed to the future of filmmaking and the people involved in it which is why we organise this competition as well as one for Student Commercials. Again this year we had a wealth of well written and creative pieces and we look forward to seeing more work in the future from our winners.”
