A film made on a shoestring by a South Bristol director and shot in a small café in St Anne’s has been selected to be shown at a key Hollywood film festival that’s a precursor to the Oscars.
The short film, called Old Windows, was filmed last year at Mary’s Café, on the St Anne’s side of Netham Lock, and stars Doctors actress Laura Bayston and Gavin and Stacey and EastEnders legend Larry Lamb.
Now, the short film is one of just a handful from all over the world to be screened at the Los Angeles Shorts International Film Festival - which is a qualifier for the Oscars.
