A former Huddersfield film producer has seen a ‘50 kisses’ film project to capture new film makers talent come to life on the big screen - in time for Valentine’s Day.
London Screenwriter’s festival manager Judy Goldberg, who grew up at Scapegoat Hill, launched the competition for budding film and script writers to submit entries with the best being combined to make the film 50 Kisses.
And what better day to launch the film than on the eve of Valentine’s Day at a glistening London premier.
The film proudly showcases upcoming writing, directing, songwriting and acting talent from around the world.
The London Screenwriters Festival is the driving force behind this unique project.
50 Kisses producer Judy Goldberg said: “Very quickly we realised that we had a tiger by the tail, an idea that creative people really connected with, and it was going to be a real challenge to see it through with zero budget backed up only by tons of enthusiasm and passion from the team and community.”
Judy spent four years in LA working for the director/producer team behind the Resident Evil movies before moving to London and setting up the Screenwriter’s festival.
Project Director Chris Jones adds, “All the filmmakers who actively engaged with the
feedback process radically improved their films by reediting and in some cases
additional shooting. We wanted to go beyond what most competitions offer, we
wanted the community to be active participants in each others learning and success. You can see this clearly in the feedback offered, film maker to film maker, on each of the films pages on the site.”
