Revolver’s Victoria Singh-Thompson takes Gold at the Young Director Award in Cannes
Revolver’s Victoria Singh-Thompson has been awarded a Gold Screen award at the prestigious Young Director Award presented in Cannes.
The film, 14 in February, was written and directed by Singh-Thompson and won Gold in the short film category.
It is about a hard-of-hearing 13-year-old student, whose reality closes in the more time she spends with her teacher.
The film, which was produced through Revolver and supported by Screen NSW’s Screenability fund, premiered at the Sydney Film Festival earlier this month.
Says Michael Ritchie, managing director/co-owner of Revolver: “We have always tried to create a pathway from inside the company to give opportunity to clever people. For Victoria and our producing team to be acknowledged like this in Cannes is extremely rewarding.”
Australian director Mick Soiza scored a Silver Screen award in the Changing the World Frame by Frame category for his anti-bullying campaign S.O.S. (Speak Out Sooner).
