I am stoked to announce that Trujillo Independent Festival in Peru has awarded “Florian’s Last Climb” Best Experimental Film in this year’s festival! Huge thanks to festival director Jorge Cequera and the jury for honouring me in this way and a big thanks to the people of the city of Trujillo for coming out in support of short films and their makers. Hurrah!

“Florian’s Last Climb” has just been selected and screened at the Trujillo Independent Film Festival in Peru (Ficit Peru) which ran from 27-30th September (finishing today!) To the bamboozlement of programmers generally, the film sneaked into the “Experimental” category… It’s my aim to get the film selected in all three categories of drama, documentary and experimental. Only drama to go… I think…

I’m delighted to announce that “Florian’s Last Climb” has been nominated for Best Documentary at the Minikino Film Week – Bali International Short Film Festival – running next month between 5th and 12th of October. The film will be screening as part of the “When you Believe” programme and will show at the following venues:  
RUMAH FILM SANG KARSA, Saturday 5/10, at 21:00:00 WITA / GMT +8
MASH DENPASAR, Tuesday 8/10, at 16:00:00 WITA / GMT +8
The festival has kindly offered to host me for the duration of the festival but alas work and other commitments will keep me home. I wish the festival the very best for what sounds like an amazing experience.

I’m excited to announce that “Florian’s Last Climb” has been selected to screen at the 5th Verashort – Veracruz Short Film Festival, in the Mexican city of Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico. News came in early last week and in fact the screening took place on Thursday 22nd August; just a couple of days ago. News of any awards has not yet reached me…
