It certainly was a difficult choice – the level of talent was overwhelming, with each finalist proving they certainly deserved the $5000 it took to create their vision filming on two, Nokia N8s. Each finalist took a very different approach to their short film – delighting the audience with a range of cinematic expression from science fiction to comedy and one child’s touching adventure with a cardboard box.
However, there could only be one winner and James Griffiths emerged triumphant – with his production of Splitscreen: A Love Story. Cleverly filmed on 2 N8s – one in Paris, one in New York, it places the two screens together to tell a story of two lovers that ultimately intertwines.
