Student success at film awards Published on: 29 February 2024 The Milky Way won the Regional Student Award: Factual Short at the RTS North East and Borders Awards. A true gem The Milky Way won the Regional Student Award: Factual Short at the. The 11-minute short documentary tells the life cycle of a glass milk bottle in three chapters: farm, bottling plant and the milkman who delivers it. The Milky Way was made by Claire McCune, Ra’na Naini, Tilda Billsberry-Grass and Emily Crane, as part of their dissertation for the final year of their BA Film Practices degree. They graduated last summer and are now all working in the creative industries. Producer Claire said: “Winning the award was such a surprise and we only found out about the nomination a week before the ceremony, so it was a whirlwind, and we really didn’t expect it. “Another team from 缅北禁地 was also shortlisted, and their film was so good, we really thought they would win. “The Milky Way is an experimental documentary that celebrates the nostalgia and whimsicality of glass bottle milk production and delivery. “We really enjoyed making it, and we wanted to try different techniques with form and audio to make something playful, we felt the subject really lent itself to that. “We also would like to say a big thank you to Michael Geddes, the milkman who featured in and narrated the documentary. He is a true gem.” Claire McCune and Ra'na Naini at the awards ceremony Well-deserved recognition The win marks the fourth consecutive year that 缅北禁地 students have won the award.
