BEACONHILLS student Emlyn Sugden has won the best young film-maker award at the Warburton Film Festival.
The Year 12 Berwick student has a keen interest in film and drama, hoping to pursue a career in the film industry.
Emlyn’s film, Four Walls and a Murder, tells the story of a detective who purposely gets caught in order to find the last piece of evidence.
“I canned the first idea I had, which was for a zombie film,” Emlyn said.
“We started filming it in the holidays but we didn’t really have the right make-up and costumes.”
He said he was really excited to win the Warburton Film Festival award, which included $350 prize-money.
Emlyn and his classmate Hayden shot the film in one location on a Canon 60D camera, with Emlyn starring the lead role of the detective.
Emlyn is now working on more films as part of his Unit 3 and 4 VCE Media Studies.
Emlyn’s film Four Walls and a Murder will be screened this Friday 12 June, in Warburton, as part of the ‘Show Us Your Shorts’ section of the festival.
