Chris Shepherd Awarded Filmmaker Grand Prix Award at Sapporo, Japan


Chris Shepherd, Film Club's multi-talented director, has been recognised by the Japanese Sapporo Short Film Festival for his work in the medium over the years. 

The Filmmaker Grand Prix trophy was handed to Chris having won over the jury with The Ringer (2012), Silence is Golden (2007) and Who I Am And What I Want (2005). 

Sapporo Film Festival credited Chris' diverse style that marries live action video with classic animation techniques. The festival - operating since 2006 - was born out of a growing audience demand for high quality short films, which has so far seen over 12,000 films screened to an audience of 40,000 coming from 120 countries.

Well done, sir.
