Story: Frankie Currie
The doors to the chapel opened at 7pm and we had a queue already waiting.
And it was worth the wait, standing room only for an enthusiastic audience of Pitsmoorians, it was amazing,
Martin Currie, organiser of Cheap Thrills Film Festival, said
“Another successful show, many thanks to our kind audience and all our movie makers, the quality of the zero budget productions was excellent this year.”
A lot of work was put into turning the disused cemetery chapel into a cinema, cleaning up, sweeping, wiping, washing and bringing more seating in.
We thought we’d overdone it with the 12 foot screen, but it looked great. Our usherettes gave away popcorn and sweets, our jury voted on the films, and the winners were:
Tim the Tiny Horse, by Ellie Ragdale.
The Test, a fantastic tense drama by Wales High School.
The Burngreave Moon Mission, a documentary about our local astronauts by Steve Pool.
Hebron Voices, showing life under occupation, by our local activist, Deacon Dave.
Food with Frankie, winner of the audience prize, where he mixed anchovies into everything and was sick TWICE!
What could possibly make it any better? Apart from anchovies – nowt!
