Award-winning Filmmaker Returns To University

Warp Films boss Mark Herbert has received an honorary degree from Sheffield Hallam University for his outstanding contribution to film, 16 years after graduating from the University.
Doncaster-born Mark, who graduated with a degree in film studies from the University, produced Chris Morris' dark satire Four Lions, Shane Meadows' BAFTA-nominated Dead Man's Shoes and BAFTA-winning film This Is England.
He also produced TV comedy Phoenix Nights, The Bunny And The Bull, Donkey Punch, Complete History and Hush and worked as Location Manager on films such as Little Voice and Brassed Off.
He accepted the award at a ceremony at Sheffield City Hall, in front of the High Sheriff, the Assay Master, Sheffield Hallam's Vice-Chancellor and students from the University's Faculty of Arts, Computing, Engineering and Sciences.
Mark said: "I was sat here in 1994 for my own graduation and if you'd told me then that I'd be back here in 16 years' time I would have said you were mad. I want to thank the people who were sat with me here 16 years ago - my mum, my dad and my wife.
"Thank you for this amazing honour. Sheffield means a lot to me, so it really is a great honour to receive this."
