A film company from Lincoln is shooting into the limelight as part of a festival at the Drill Hall.

Red Dog Film is showcasing two shorts during the Made in Lincolnshire film festival at the Lincoln Drill Hall starting on Monday.

Managing Director of Red Dog Film Sam Wardham is hoping the shorts will draw out more talent in the city.

Mr Wardham said: "We are trying to create a community of filmmakers in Lincolnshire who can all benefit and expand their skills.

"It is really exciting, Red Dog is working with some really talented people on this project and the commercial work we're doing allows us to fund this type of project.

"It also means we can get new equipment and give filmmakers access to good technology.

"We are also going to be filming a feature film next year."

Mr Wardham's own short film Fairytale is going to be shown before the main film Atonement on November 9.

It tells the story of a mother recounting a tale to her sick child about a real journey, but using fairy tale terminology.

Also working on the short films are Philip Stevens, 29, as director and Lewis Gemmill, 24, as editor.

The two men are former professional actors who are studying cinematography at the University of Lincoln.

They wrote the second short film, Crossing, which is based on the Edwardian interpretation of the River Styx myth.

It is being shown on Monday before the main film Pride and Prejudice.
