ONE TO WATCH: Mum Says
(dir. John Brown)

This is the one that got away, but perhaps it makes the film stronger for it. Mum Says is an intense drama about a young boy who lives in a fractured middle class family environment. He is coming to terms with his parents and who they really are. Brilliantly directed by John Brown, the film surprisingly walked away empty-handed at the 2012 Van d’Or Independent Film Awards. Though unsuccessful in securing a gold-van-statuette (who wouldn’t want one), the film  has picked up a great-many admirers – us included.

The team were recently present at Screen Social’s moving memorial screening for one of the film’s rising stars, Tommy Vine, who sadly passed away a few weeks ago. We hope the film goes on to reach a wider audience now it’s released online and Tommy’s name is up in lights for years to come.
