George Turner, who is currently studying on the BA (Hons) in Film<\/a>, was nominated as a semi-finalist for the Best Experimental UK Short Film<\/a> in the London International Motion Pictures Awards (LIMPA) 2019.<\/p>\n

The film follows the journey of a young photographer, asking are our passions always worth pursuing? When does enthusiasm become obsession? Is independence an asset or a hindrance?<\/p>\n

George explained the background to the film: \u2018The project was a joint effort between myself and Lee Reynolds – a friend and\u00a0colleague for many years; our film collaborations began at\u00a0our Sixth Form College (now known as USP<\/a>). It was shot back in January 2017.<\/p>\n

\u2018What is most interesting\u00a0is LIMPA’s recognition of our film; I submitted the film for competition in August 2018. It was the only competition that the film was submitted to.<\/em>\u00a0In early May I received a notification that we had been shortlisted for Official Selection and, a week later, Semi-Finals. We were honoured to have been selected.\u2019<\/p>\n

Seclusion<\/em> received a screening last week, 24 May 2019, at Regent\u2019s University in London, as part of the awards festival. However you may view the film via the YouTube link here: www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OltA6TgDpVc<\/a><\/p>\n
