'Win' nominated at Raindance - 18/05/2026

In exciting news, our first ever narrative fiction short film ‘Win’, written and directed by Steph Tari Odu, starring Shaniqua Okwok and Martins Imhangbe will screen as an official selection and in competition for ‘Best UK Short’ at the 34th Raindance Film Festival in London. Raindance is the UK’s largest independent film festival showcasing boundary-pushing features, shorts, and documentaries and also serves as a qualifying festival for the Oscars, BAFTAs, and BIFAs.

Win marked a turning point for us as a production company, having produced two short films prior we were able to develop and produce an ambitious fiction short filmed predominantly outside in locations around north Kent. Win is a tender portrayal of care in the community, and asks the question what happens in those quiet moments that ask us to slow down and stop.
