Rest assured, we will give you breaks every now and again, but mainly it’s about lots of short films, one after the other. Do you accept the challenge?
Including the Short & Mid-length Special, In the Air Tonight by Andrew Norman Wilson, and the RTM Pitch winner, Katarina Jazbec’s You Can’t Automate Me.
