Why go to Cannes when you can go to Cannt?
break
This Thursday from 8-10pm Watching will be attending an evening of short films, animations and music videos in a warm cozy basement in the The Book Club in Shoreditch.
break
So if you couldn’t make Cannes this year, fear not, come and join our own stars from 7pm because quite frankly ‘it’s too rainy to do anything else.’

Using projection technology this will surely be a night to remember!

Oh and the best bit…it’s free!

Watching’s attempt at global domination continues with its entry into the unique and wonderful I’ve Seen Films International Film Festival in Milan, Italy.
Inspired by the film Blade Runner (are we on the verge of a return?) Rutger Haur set up the International Film Festival to challenge all film authors, inviting them to show films that ‘can be inspired, hard-fought, spirited, powerful, light, innovative.’ Great stuff.
I’ve Seen Films will take place in the beautiful Gnomo Milano Cinema venue, in Milan. Screening times will be announced soon, so watch this space!
Happy Weekend!

The deadline to submit your film to the ‘Best British Short Films‘ slate is July 30 and if ever there was a tip we could give from Watching HQ, it would be to go for it!
Watching was lucky enough to be selected by the wonderful Mariela Artiles last year and the help we’ve been given submitting to festivals and general advice and support has been incredible.
Submit here and please let us know how you get on, it’s amazing how the slate has helped create a supporting community for all of us.
And before you ask, Mariela, who also runs Candella Films, gives all of her help for free.
This year BBSF will also teaming up with a top sales agent, who will help attract and advise on relationships with distributors.
What more could you ask for!?
Much love from all of us at Dakus Films and the Watching team – and best of luck!

Another fantastic festival entry for Watching!
Possibly the most beautiful of all our screening locations yet, Watching will vie for audiences attention (and surely fail) amid the beauty of the ‘natural amphitheatre, under the towering redwoods at the Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur’ in far North California.
The Big Sur International Short Film Screening Series will take place between June the 9th and the 29th of August, with Watching’s screening date just announced as Thursday, August 4th, at 8.30pm.
On the panel of judges are some of our personal heroes, including composer Philip Glass and cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, so here’s hoping we can impress!
If we win the lottery, we’ll see you there, if not, please enjoy it for us if you’re lucky enough to live out on the West Coast…
Much love from the Watching HQ
Spoiled once again!
Up for for Best Director (Max Myers) and Best Cinematography (Dan Stafford-Clark), Watching took one of 3 nominations, with Ian Hart receiving the award for Best Short Film Actor.
Congratulations also to John Hurt for Love at First Sight and Philip Jackson for The Golden Boy, the other two contenders in the category.
And, of course, a huge thank you to festival manager Jacqueline Cockerill and her team for all the support given to Watching by the British Independent Film Festival.
Looking forward to hopefully being back soon with out first feature film, Titus, which is currently in post-production!
Much love from Watching HQ and the Dakus Films team
