It is an honour to be the second student to receive this award in honour of the amazing Jeff Barnaby. Being able to enter the difficult world of filmmaking is something that seems to be getting harder and harder every year. This award won’t only allow me to make my film the way I want but what’s more, it will give me a chance to begin my career. Luck is when opportunity meets perseverance and I believe this is one of those rare moments, and I won’t let it go by.
