TWO former Bridgwater College students have been nominated for the Wales Centre Royal Television Awards.
Becki Howes and Catherine Attwood studied the media production course at the college before moving on to Newport University to study the BA in documentary, film and television and the BA in film and video studies.
Becki Howes, from Cannington, has been nominated for her documentary, ‘Men in Stripes’ – a film about a group of 12 men in Kotka, Finland, who meet up fortnightly to practise gymnastics.
The young filmmaker says it explores the oddities of life and how different things make different people happy.
On her nomination, Becki said: “It is still quite a shock – all nominations for factual documentaries are from Newport Film School so it’s an honour to be recognised along with my classmates.”
Since the nominations were announced, Becki has been approached by the BBC about some upcoming projects.
Meanwhile Catherine Attwood, from Chedder, crowd-funded her fictional film, ‘The Bullet Catch’, with her production team.
In her film a magician tries to perform a famous trick for the first, and potentially, last time.
The winners of the Wales Centre Royal Television Awards will go through to the prestigious Royal Television Society Awards in May.
