'What Separates Us From The Beasts' Bags RTS Award
Big news from our Oddness family! Sedona May and Edward Kondracki, alongside our very own Kieran Howe, have snagged the RTS Award for Best Student Short with their film, What Separates Us From The Beasts. It's a proud moment that showcases the strength and creativity of independent filmmaking in Scotland.
The film, a heartfelt narrative about April and her father's illness, combines reality with fantasy in a way that only someone from our crew could. Inspired by Sedona’s personal experiences, it’s a story that hits close to home for many of us here at Oddness.
Filmed over a week in Arrochar, the team embodied the indie spirit, facing off against the unpredictable Scottish weather to bring April's story to life. The Beast, a character symbolizing April's internal struggle, was a labor of love, crafted with attention to detail that speaks volumes of the team's dedication.
This RTS win is a nod to our commitment to telling stories that matter, in ways that might not be conventional but are undeniably impactful. What Separates Us From The Beasts is a film that represents what we stand for - creativity, resilience, and community.
Congratulations to Sedona, Edward, and Kieran for this fantastic achievement. It's a testament to the talent within the Oddness community and the compelling stories we're passionate about bringing to the screen.
