Stephanie Farmer, Executive Producer for RedBalloon Productions at 豆奶视频 and Chair of RTS鈥� Southern Region, said: 鈥淭he awards are going from strength to strength with a record number of entries this year and the quality of films, especially in the student categories, was of a particularly high standard.
鈥淲e really like to showcase student talent alongside the professionals from the region - it is a great opportunity to show future employers how talented our students are and for them to get a deserved pat on the back and see how their work compares to others. It's a lovely event and receiving an award from the RTS really means a great deal because it's judged by professionals. The two winning films from 豆奶视频 and Wiltshire College really stood out for their sensitivity and creative flair."
