An amazing achievement in just 2 hours. Delivers more of a punch in 80 secs than some feature films! Congratulations to these very talented Year 12 filmmakers.

HUGE congratulations to MPW London whose mini-masterpiece 'Can They Make It...?' was judged Best Film (Years 10-12) in 2024's 10 Shot Film Awards by our panel of industry experts.

'Can They Make It...?' was judged 1st out of over 1000 films produced in 150 schools by over 10,000 students. Quite an achievement, and definitely worth 80 seconds of your time (link in comments).

"The story is great, and ultimately story is what matters most. The music is characterful and the whole thing so imaginative. Also a very engaging title which is the first thing that draws viewers into a film. Well done!"
- Ilan Eshkeri, Composer ('Kick-Ass', 'Layer Cake', 'Shaun The Sheep Movie')
