Edinburgh filmmaker Kevin Pickering has scooped five awards at the Scottish Short Film Festival. Kevin’s film ‘Close to the Bone’ was nominated in five categories: Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Sound/Music, Best Editing and Best Actor – and won them all!
The awards were presented at Scottish Short Film Festival’s gala event at Glasgow’s Crowne Plaza Hotel last night
Kevin, who has been making films since his Drylaw schooldays, said: “It’s all a bit surreal! There were some really strong films in this year’s line-up so even to get a nomination was great – to win all five is just crazy!
“I received some really good feedback after the screening and I really appreciated that. My only regret is that our lead actor David Scott couldn’t attend the awards due to other commitments but it was a memorable night for everyone involved with Close To The Bone.”
