News: Sex, Lives and Videotape to represent the South

18th November 2007

Congratulations go to Derby Movie Makers for their film “Sex, Lives and Videotape”. It was chosen to represent the South in the grand final of the North vs. South competition.

The film will join 4 others from the southern region to pitch battle against 5 films from the northern region on Sunday 27th January 2008.

The theme for this year’s competition is ‘Faith, Hope and Charity’, and organisers of the southern heat hope that one of its 5 films will be good enough to bring the John Wright trophy back down south for the first time in 2 years.

“Sex, Lives and Videotape” was awarded second place by the judges of the southern heat, but was awarded first place in the (100+) audience vote. The film follows the fortunes of fictional movie making club, LCA Movie Makers – a hapless bunch of amateur video buffs who have their own, unique take on filmmaking.

It was a good day for Midlands clubs. Films from Nuneaton Moviemakers and Wave at Long Eaton were also chosen for the final.

Fingers crossed for the grand final in January!
