Film_LondonAward_LS

Last night Little Soldier received Film London’s 2015 London Calling Jury Award Special Mention at the British Film Institute, where emerging talent from all over the capital was on showcase. 21 short films were screened for the prestigious London Calling and London Calling Plus Awards.
The Jury said: “This film has been carefully-rendered, with strong direction and superb acting throughout. It was refreshing to see a short which captured its council estate setting’s sense of community, rather than viewing it through a negative lens.”
Congratulations to all cast and crew and thanks to all funders and backers!
