Fantastic afternoon yesterday at Preston Film Collective's May Meetup. Great to catch up with the Preston filmmakers I know, and meet some new ones! Details of the next meetup coming soon! #filmmakers #networking #workingtogether #prestonevents #filmmaking

Huge thanks to @lancashiremagazine for publishing a follow-up article about our festival in their latest edition (June). We're beyond grateful for the support, and it's lovely to look back at some of the images from March 7th. Thanks again to @gazcook for the photographs and @gillylancashire for hosting so brilliantly- and finally thanks to every filmmaker who submitted their films last year, and especially to those who travelled to Preston to be with us on the night and fill the room... you legends! #dragonflyiff2027 #shortfilmfestival #Lancashire #PrestonEvents #grateful

What a great evening hosting the very first @dragonflyiff at the New Continental in #Preston So many filmmakers all under one roof for a sellout out evening Thanks to @sumoffat1 for a great script and @gazcook for great photos

I'm still slightly overwhelmed (and definitely aching) after Saturday night's screening and awards presentation evening at @dragonflyiff but honestly... what a night!! Just goes to show what can be achieved with a spoon full of effort and a pinch of blind faith. 📸 @gazcook #proudpreston
