Afternoon Coen fans! I’m going to keep this brief because I’m not really in favour of the hype the Oscars gets and I don’t really want to draw any more attention to them than is really necessary. However, I felt it was of great importance to tip the metaphorical finger-lickin’ hat to the astounding Coen brothers. No Country For Old Men, my favourite film of the year to date, garnered four Oscars at last night’s ceremony and quite frankly nobody deserved it more.
The Coen brothers have been inspirational for a whole generation of filmmakers and while Fargo was also rightly recognised by the Academy, No Country for Old Men is a masterpiece and a truly brilliant return to form. So, Ethan and Joel, if you’re reading this, which you’re not, but if you are… congratulations on four every well deserved Oscars.

Propeller… heard of it?
Even if not, you’ll be pleased to know that they’re putting a call out for short film submissions for ‘ShortFest’ as they call it. Which will be, (quote) ‘a celebration of the best original shorts submitted by new filmmaking talent’. So it says on their website at least.
Propeller is Europes biggest short film TV channel available on Sky 195. If your work is choosen by Propeller, it’ll be shown on TV, online and in the Cinema. I think that’s a first!? They are running the Fest over 5 days from 27th – 31st March, and if you want your work to be in with a chance, click through below and grab a submission form.
