Rob Brown wins Digital Short commission

 

BBC award winning director, Rob Brown, has won a Digital Short commission from South West Screen to direct his new short drama Silent Things.

 

‘Silent Things’ is a drama about how the friendship between an autistic man and woman is tested when an impulsive teenage girl comes between them. The film will explore themes of miscommunication and isolation.

 

Digital Shorts is the scheme run by the UK Film Council’s New Cinema Fund and regional partners to enable filmmakers to make innovative short films using digital technology.  This year’s crop of films represent a diverse range of talent. The filmmakers come from Dorset, Devon and Somerset as well as Bristol and cover both animation and live action.

 

South West Screen’s Sarah-Jane Meredith says: ‘We’re delighted to be able to support talent from such a wide geographical spread across the region and to work with a range of partners without whom this would not be possible.’
