NOVELLA FILM FESTIVAL (NFF) dubs itself as a “microcosm of what the future of film should look like.” Combining “a traditional film festival with modern society’s progression towards equality and diversity,” the organization seeks to give a “voice to untold stories and helping young and/or inexperienced filmmakers get into the industry and make it their own.” Their goal is “to create a space that inspires creativity and inclusivity and provide filmmakers with the resources to continue doing what they love.”

Recently, UNCLE — a short film written and directed by Michelle Jones — was selected as a winner of the “POC Narrative” category.
▫️
Set in ‘90s London, this story shares the perspective of a teenage girl as she learns of her uncle’s passing, and we watch as an “emotional roller-coaster” unfolds on the day of his funeral. (The officers involved in the killing were never criminally charged nor disciplined, leaving the surviving family members without any sense of justice or closure.)

Our sincerest thanks to NFF on this, our 10th, award win. And of course, on this special occasion, a shout-out to the cast and crew is most certainly warranted.
