Introducing the first film Final Frame supported as part of the 2025 cohort: Olly Ginelli’s powerful short ‘The Long Spring’. Fresh from its world premiere at the renowned Santa Barbara Film Festival, we’re excited to share the trailer here. The film was inspired by Ginelli’s time volunteering at the Dunkirk refugee camp in France, when he met and became close friends with a Kurdish man, Saady, who was forced to flee the territorial control of ISIS with just the clothes on his back in 2015. Synopsis: Arron has taken his younger sister Kika on a journey to a better life, but his youthful optimism may have overlooked one of the darkest possibilities on the planet. The film was graded by OkayStudio’s colourist Fraser Twitchett.

// ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER // Olly’s first career was in-front of the camera as a professional breakdancer. During which time he learnt piano for 10 years in order to surprise his Dad live on BBC One with a performance for his birthday That documentary was broadcast on The Today Show and got over 30 million views online and accepted into 10 festivals. Olly’s first ever feature script - which was only in its 3rd draft - was selected in the top 1% of 4287 submissions by the BBC Voices program 2023, confirming him as one of the UK’s top, up-and-coming screenwriters. He then raised £50k in private finance to make the proof of concept short, which was recently featured in The Hollywood Reporter and has just started its festival circuit with two selections in since September. // ABOUT FINAL FRAME // Final Frame is an industry-first initiative by @okaystudio , offering £100k of in-kind post-production support to the next wave of culture-defining filmmakers.
