It was a fun, free, family friendly Saturday night out in Burngreave at the “Cheap Thrills Zero Budget Film Festival.” The Cemetery Chapel was buzzing with over a hundred film goers all eager to see an array of films from local film makers.

It was standing room only with plenty of free popcorn, sweets and drinks for the crowd. Those who weren’t able to get in enjoyed a shadow theatre show outside under the moonlit sky.

This was an independent community event which began in 2011 after a group of Sheffield-based filmmakers won a prize of £750 in a film competition.

Instead of dividing the prize money, filmmaker Martin Currie and his team decided to host a community film festival, where we were treated to a dazzling array of cinematic talent from both young and old.

The group are planning on holding the festival again in Loughborough on September 28th 2013 details on http://www.zerobudgetfilmfest.com
