Crossroads Films UK's most recent signing, award-winning short film director Nick Scott shall be screening his short film LITTERBUG this week. Focusing on 'your filthy habit's, this comedy plans to re-educate you and correct your slovenly ways. Seats are running out. Email info@crossroadsfilms.co.uk to attend today's screenings in Soho.
What about Nick... Nick's work has been recognised and awarded at film festivals around the world; from Sundance to Brief Encounters. He is a three-time winner at Straight 8, with his short film Breaker also being screened at the Clermont-Ferrand and at South Africa's Golden Lion festival. His short School Portrait was also picked up for US & European distribution through Shorts International His latest short, Big Society, caught the eye of Crossroads' MD, Carly Stone, when she was a judge at this year's Anglo/Danish short film festival, Bornshorts, where Nick subsequently won best short film. Big Society is also nominated for the Grand Prix at the Encounters festival and is now eligible for a BAFTA.
Nick also currently has three feature screenplays in development. ‘Black Box Recorder’ was selected for the Berlinale Script Clinic in 2007 and ‘Fly on the Wall’ short listed by Film London for the Microwave funding scheme. ‘It’s not me, it’s you’ is at a treatment stage.
Crossroads' MD Carly Stone says: “Nick is a rare find, a young but experienced comedy performance director who understands how to work intimately with actors and draw out hilarious characters. I never tire of watching Big Society, its mixture of comedy performance with its dark undertone is something that Nick has carefully balanced and is a well received and engaging film. Crossroads can’t wait to introduce him to advertising and create some more memorable characters.”
