Beyond the Cosmos on it's festival route!

'Beyond the Cosmos' a short film I made last December and released earlier this year has been doing the festival rounds. It has been selected for a few so far and with hopefully more to come.

Beyond the Cosmos is a Christmas themed short film about a young boys unlikely friendship with a peculiar man living alone in a caravan, in the forest. After the boys forecasted illness leads to death, a mysterious light emerges and leads the boys family and the man into each others company. They take course on a conflicting dash, as the mother and sister are keen to escape, where as the man knows there is more to the light than it seems.

The film is out now on youtube and can be seen here: https://youtu.be/68DIupbe-ok

Last year I was honoured to win the Inspiring young filmmaker award at the positive for youth awards. This year they have aimed even higher and have now gone global!

The awards aim to showcase and award young and inspiring people who are doing incredible things around the world and have made a positive impact to inspire us all.

The nominees and winners are truly incredible, taking action on some of the worlds most crucial issues.

The Global Youth Awards were introduced by RoundTable Global. RoundTable brings together the creative and corporate worlds in exciting and mutually beneficial learning environments. They are passionate about creating symbiotic relationships between the two cultures where transformation, innovation and a new style of leadership becomes effortless.

At this years awards, I was asked to film it, to then edit together a short promo including interviews with the winners. We also set up a live stream to be streamed on KNEKT TV, an LA based streaming website (Also can be seen on youtube & facebook)

It was a great evening and really inspiring to see all of the young people talking about their stories and what they have achieved to deserve the award.
