Success for Animation Shorts including the Irish based 'The Belties' for which I lent my voice!!



Delighted to share the news that a lovely Short Animation a lent my vocal chords to, 'THE BELTIES' produced by SCRIPT SIRENS, has been selected for two prestigious events to be held in the region ...


Firstly this coming weekend 'The Belties' (animated by MORGANE BILLAULT, with music from KATIE ELLWOOD) will be shown at Warwick Arts Centre in partnership with the BFI NETWORK. This screening of short films will showcase talent and stories from across the region, with a focus on those based in Coventry and Warwickshire. As well as 'The Belties', two other films have also been selected from the 'SPECTRUM' Animation Anthology created by SCRIPT SIRENS (for more details click here) .. 'SOMETHING DIFFERENT' and 'UNHOME' - great news for all three animated films. Screenings commence at 5pm on SATURDAY 8th OCTOBER .. Tickets can be booked here ...

'The Belties' (written and co-voiced by LOUISE OSBOURNE also featuring the voice of Maeve O'Reilly) is a perfectly formed TWO MINUTE ANIMATION about a kind-hearted Irish farmer, JACK, who is tasked with sending his beloved cows to slaughter, he resorts to hiding his herd instead, in increasingly ridiculous ways. I voice Jack and two of his 'Belties' ... Barry and the rather nervous Reggie, all great fun!! Producers for 'The Belties' were ALEXANDRA TAYLOR and ANNABEL BRIGHTLING with SCARLETT KEFFORD executive producing.


More great news for the 'Spectrum' Project (a series of 8 standalone animated shorts around the broad theme of ‘spectrum’) is that three of it's films (including 'The Belties') have also been selected for this years BIRMINGHAM FILM FESTIVAL.


'The Belties' will be screening on SUNDAY 6TH NOVEMBER at 2pm

'ZX' will be screening on SUNDAY 6TH NOVEMBER at 2pm
 
'Dance' will be screening on MONDAY 7TH NOVEMBER at 8pm

Tickets are free but they recommend reserving via the link below.

All screenings will be held at MILLENNIUM POINT, CURZON STREET, BIRMINGHAM, B4 7XG ...

As well as the confirmed screenings for this year's festival, all three films have also been nominated in the BEST MICRO SHORT FILM category. Fingers crossed for all three animated films at the GALA AWARDS CEREMONY on SATURDAY 12th NOVEMBER 2022.
