Whenever I get a film festival acceptance email, they are of course, equally exciting because it's never guaranteed, and more often than not it's a 'thank you for submitting your film, though unfortunately, we are not able to include it in our program this year' response. And I am loathe to single this one out as something extra special, as all festivals/ screening nights have their merits- I have attended all 7 out of the 7 for I Wish I Was There thus far and they honestly have all been absolutely amazing experiences. But, as a film nerd and someone who feels they haven't quite ‘cracked the industry’/ gives strong outsider vibes(!) and have sort of done things my own way, to have my film playing at BFI Southbank is, I'm sure you will agree, some extremely exciting news!
It’s playing as part of the important We Crip Film Festival, which highlights and platforms disability screen stories and talent. The line up looks amazing- so I’m extremely honoured to be part of such a vital festival. You can find out more about the festival as a whole HERE and you can find out more about the specific film screening my short is included in HERE. You can purchase tickets through both those links, too. I will also be taking part in the Q+A, alongside several of the other filmmakers. I can’t wait for this one, see you there xo
