In 2022 we won 2 @BritShortFilm awards for our film Adjustments!! 👏🏽
1 was for @nicola_mai and her incredible acting - she couldn’t make the ceremony so collected her award yesterday in a park in London (she didn’t make a speech) Congrats Nic!!🎉🎊 #shortfilm
Since Peter was recently given the Lifetime Achievement Award for "Outstanding Contribution to Film & Television" at the @BAFTAScotland Awards, he can put it on the shelf next to his @BritShortFilm Award. Seriously, for all he's done career-wise, these are deserving accolades! 😊
@boobuttons@BCineMag Hi Julie, Tom here, you're right, we don't screen the films as we are an awards, not a festival. We actually have a film fund where we put all the money we make back into the British short film industry, this means we actually operate at a loss, best wishes.
The partnership will see British Cinematographer sponsor the ‘Best Cinematography’ category at the Awards this December.
