Success at Bolton Movie Challenge 2014

One of the positive elements about being part of a network of clubs nationally via the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers (IAC) is that, on a regular basis, we have the opportunity of competing with one another. Cumulatively, this contributes to raising standards, as does competition in any field.

On 22 May, Southport MovieMakers competed against 7 other clubs from around the North West in a competition entitled the Bolton Movie Challenge, hosted by Bolton MovieMakers. We won.

Our winning film was our recent production, Ransom, directed by our recently-deceased highly-talented member Nigel Barton. Our Chairman, Peter Ravenscroft, said when he spoke receiving the award, that it was "entirely fitting" that Nigel's talent should be recognised with this success. Once again, the success is a tribute to Nigel's talent. Moreover, it is a tribute to the team effort that contributed to the success of Ransom.
