FILM-MAKERS ATTEND FROGSTERS

It may not be the Oscars, but for Froghill’s amateur filmmakers it just might be a step along the way.

Froghill Amateur Camera Keepers, Owners and Film Fans held their first-ever award ceremony, the Frogsters, at the Town Hall on Tuesday evening.

All entries were 'shorts' of 30 minutes or less and shot by local film-makers. Organiser Dick Percy said: "All the submissions were of a very high standard indeed."

Frogster for Best Film went to bus driver Ray Spinks for his imaginative piece Light and Airy, which was shot entirely in his own kitchen and followed his wife as she made a sponge cake.

The Simon Fanshawe Work of Special Merit Award was won by 20-year-old Froghill College student Jasper Bottleneck for his slow-motion depiction of a hamster going to sleep.

FACKOFF meets on the first and third Tuesday of every month except for January, April, May, June, September, November and December.
