With a range of organisations from the region attending – including BBC South West, Rock Oyster Media and Ocean City Media – students were able to find out about production from those in the know.
Mike Baker, Associate Dean at Plymouth Marjon University, said: “For students in the south west, we know that there aren’t necessarily that many huge employers, so it’s important for them to get to know the ones that are here.
Sub Rosa, which addresses the harsh treatment of women pregnant out of marriage from the 1950s through to the mid-70s, was named Best Drama. The judges could “almost smell the lino flooring – with strong imagery and narrative, we were suitably impressed”. Jeannie Malcolm also won the Production Design award for her work on the film.
Gnomegeddon, a “brilliant watch” that “blended contemporary social media styles with old school bedtime stories” took home the Entertainment and Comedy Drama award. The Editing prize was awarded to Cosmo Bawler.
