Had a great time at @bournemouthfilmfest and so happy we get to support a south coast film festival growing so strongly so quickly. Local boy @jackpalladinoh came along, who was a crucial part of Green Grass, stepping up from production assistant to stand-in production designer for the first three days when illness struck and being an all-round on-set lifesaver (as all our production assistants were). Thrilled to pick up our first two craft awards for Best Editing and Best Sound. For those interested, here was our workflow and personnel in post! Edit and captions done by our director @aramatkinson in Da Vinci Resolve, with some very helpful assistance from @ricservini in Premiere pro mid-edit. Sound recorded by @india_holdstock on set, with post completed by Haresh Patel @soundbombharesh in Protools, and a special thanks to @lawrence.sound for a studio test screening and sanity check. Music from @simnprtr with tracks from @yuwymusic and Nathan Hubble. Colour and finishing completed by @sarabuxtoncolourist from Goldcrest Films in DVR.

@boltonfilmfest thank you! What an amazing festival to meet other filmmakers. It was so good to see a festival taking the front foot with accessibility with a BSL interpreter and a number of great films sharing a new perspective. We got to meet up with some of the filmmakers from @flickers.riiff again, which was lovely, and celebrate one of our directors former students who also had a film in! We will post a video soon of a special segment once we have captioned the clip.

Thank you @newrenaissancefilmfestival for being our first London screening! It was a joy to screen alongside some other great films and so lovely to see some of the cast, crew, friends, and students there. NRFF are the loveliest organisers, will definitely be coming again! If you didn’t get a chance to come, check the link in bio for next screenings, including Bolton, London Breeze, Aesthetica, San Jose, and Cambridge!

🎬 Inclusivity is at the core of Girls On Film, and we’re proud to champion equality in the film industry. GREEN GRASS is an important landmark in the representation of women and the D/deaf community, on and off screen. GREEN GRASS follows Claire and Declan, two D/deaf university students who develop a friendship, share their experiences and build new relationships with the D/deaf community. The short has a women-led crew, including: producer Makenna Guyler, 1st AD Klarissa Webster, sound recordist India Holdstock, and colourist Sara Buxton, to name a few. It features the brilliant Natalia Staszek as the lead actress. Natalia is represented by THE DEAF SET, which delivers authentic deaf representation on and off screen. GREEN GRASS is currently on a festival run, and screens in London at Aesthetica Short Film Festival in November. We encourage you to see it. 📸 @beckybailey.photography (Slides 1-3) 📸 @jonnyrajaflint (Slides 4-5) #greengrass #girlsonfilm #womeninfilm #seagrass #bfinetwork Two behind the scenes stills from green grass.

FILM FESTIVAL INTERVIEW | 2026 GREEN GRASS from writer/director Aram Atkinson, recently won Best Director Short Film First Prize @flickers.riiff. We asked Aram what it means to share his film @asffestival, @boltonfilmfest & @newrenaissancefilmfestival: "I am ridiculously excited. It is shaping up to be a busy few months! I am going to attempt to attend every festival I can because you never know if and when these opportunities will come around again. We haven’t had a chance to do a cast and crew screening yet, so there are a few members of the team who still haven’t seen it and I hope they, and new audiences alike, feel it is a worthy watch. It is also great because we had to get inventive with some of how we financed our film, which we managed to do by getting some brands to sponsor the film (@lingvano, @signsolutionsuk, and @skillshare) and through crowdfunding too. These festivals show their investment wasn’t for nothing and gives all our supporters a chance to experience it on the big screen. I can’t imagine the work it takes to run a festival, so I am very grateful they exist because films are made to be seen in the cinema." Full interview on our website. 📸 @jonnyrajaflint

Thank you again to @2countiesiff and everyone who watched @findinggreengrass. To @bfinetworkfhse @bfinetwork supporting us with awarding National Lottery funding, as well as our sponsors @lingvano @skillshare and @signsolutionsuk for all of their support. Also to @projectseagrass and every single crowdfunding contributor ❤️ Of course a huge thank you to our incredible cast crew and the entire team behind GG. We won: Best Actor @brandonworrall_mma Best Supporting Actress @nataliagstaszek Best UK Short Film Best Drama & were also nominated in Best Director too for @aramatkinson ✨🙌 If you’re wondering where you can see Green Grass- next film festivals coming up are: @newrenaissancefilmfestival on Friday 25th September at 1:30pm (block E) at the Close-Up cinema in London Please note that this screening has 7 films, and whilst Green Grass is accessible and our director will sign in the Q&A if he can attend, the other films are unlikely to be subtitled. @boltonfilmfest on Thursday 1st October at 8pm It will be supported by a BSL interpreter and is part of a d/Deaf programme. We are so excited to be bringing our film to such a prestigious festival in an accessible block that is filled with so many amazingly talented filmmakers.  @asffestival (our specific time is still TBC!) but general dates are: November 4–8, 2026 Wed- Sun We are hoping to arrange a private London screening with access at its core alongside some other great films once our director is back in the UK!
