Over 60 Academies took part in the 2017 & 2018 4 Week Film Challenges at the beginning of the year, each tasked with making a short film with a randomly given theme, prop, costume and line of dialogue. Elements ranged from a bear suit to an inflatable microphone, with lines as random as “That’s the last time I get in a Spaceship with you!”.
All entries have now been judged and we are proud to announce the winners!
