Rhiwbina short film Annalium 8: Sssss has been selected as a finalist in the Liverpool Indie Awards.
The dark scifi film was chosen from more than 900 entries from around the world. The winners will be announced next month (March).
This follows the news that the film will be screened at The Short Cinema: Leicester International Film Festival in April.
It was also a finalist in the Golden Short Festival (Italy), a semi-finalist in the Euphoria Short Film Festival (Spain), in the top four scifi films at the London Seasonal Golden Short Festival, and in the top 30% of entries for the Wild Indie Festival, also in London – with a chance for further improvement when the next round of judging is announced.
Filmed locally, it was written and co-produced by Rhiwbina-born-and-raised Rob Lancey, and also produced by our own Andy Weltch of Weltch Media.
The film, directed by Andrew ‘Griff’ Griffin, stars Francesca Louise White and Minaii Baelfire. Francesca is an award-winning actress, and Minaii holds the distinction of being the world’s first Black Young Elsa in a stage production of Frozen.
You may have seen the film at Monico Movies last October or at another local screeening, but if you missed it, you can now watch it online here.
