Mark Rhodes, Marketing Director at reed.co.uk, comments on how this year’s competition surpassed all expectation:
“The time, the talent and the effort that’s gone into making all of this year’s entries made reaching a shortlist of only 12 films extremely difficult. We had to make some painful decisions.
“I’d like to extend a heartfelt thanks on behalf of reed.co.uk to everyone who’s taken part in this year’s competition.”
Rhodes calls for everyone to get involved by voting for their favourite film:
“We’re excited to be able to show all 12 shortlisted films on reed.co.uk where people can vote for their favourite. The winner of the People’s Choice Award will be awarded £1,000.”
