Breadmakers Shoot First

Submitted by robin_m on Sat, 24/11/2007 - 18:10

Breadmakers is to be screened at the Shoot First event at Edinburgh’s Filmhouse on Wednesday 12th December 2007.

Shoot First is an independent organisation holding short film events in Scotland. They give filmmakers an opportunity to have their work seen on the big screen, showcasing work from around the world.

December’s event also features:

Crosswords (James Malcolm, Scotland 2007, 9min)

Mrs Mitchell thinks she's receiving messages through crossword puzzles, and she keeps them filed in boxes, which pack her house from floor to ceiling. One day a salesman calls who says he can help her clean up the mess.

Standing Start (Finlay Pretsell & Adrian McDowall, Scotland 2007, 15 min)

Craig is considered the fastest lead-out cyclist in the world. We experience what flashes through his head as he's locked into the blocks, awaiting the starting gun to fire and sense the feeling as he's whizzing round the velodrome.
