The experience of making VIGILANTE was invaluable to me as a filmmaker, and I'd like to thank Screen Yorkshire not just for funding the project, but also for the development, support and encouragement they gave me throughout the process. Thanks to them, I have had the privilege of seeing my work screened at festivals across the world and have picked up two awards for the film in the process. The challenges involved in making a short film are only truly realised when you have a production on the horizon, and I have learnt so much about successful filmmaking thanks to the opportunities afforded me by Screen Yorkshire.
VIGILANTE was commissioned under the 07-08 Screen Yorkshire Digital Shorts Scheme, and went on to win 'Best Yorkshire Short' at Glimmer: Hull International Short Film Festival 2009, and an Accolade at The Accolade Competition. Darren's next short film, SCENT is currently in post-production, and was commissioned under the 08-09 Digital Shorts scheme. Both films were shot in North East Lincolnshire.
