Had an incredible time at the @mansfieldtownfilmfestival these last few days - Jay and the team put together a superb programme, full of exciting, thought-provoking, dynamic films and talks, and we felt very proud and honoured to have our film officially selected to be a part of the festival. Thanks for having us! Photos courtesy of @anotherworldmediahq
