A film by Geoffrey Taylor, a Media Practice graduate from the University of the West of England, has become the first ever to win both the Creativity Prize and the Cinematography Prize of the NAHEMI/Kodak Award at the Encounters Short Film Festival (held in Bristol 21 – 25 November). The Kodak Cinematography prize was actually awarded to Tom Reynolds, who worked with Geoffrey on the winning film 'Isabella'. This is also the first time that a piece shot on video has won the Kodak Cinematography Prize.

'Isabella', (UK, 11mins 26 seconds) directed by Geoffrey Taylor, was made on a budget of £900, proof that award-winning films can be made on a budget.

This is not the first time Geoffrey's film Isabella has won an award. He also won the Pinewood/Vividas prize for Isabella earlier this year see:
