The Cream of Cornwall's short films showcased at Channel 4

The latest creative talent and films to emerge from Cornwall were showcased to at 'The Cream of Cornish Films' in London on Wednesday 28 June.
The interactive event, held at Channel 4, included a 'Dragon's Den' style pitching opportunity for writers to impress representatives from Channel 4, BBC Films and the UK Film Council, and a screening of some of the very best short films from Cornwall.
Pippa Best, Project Director for Cornwall Film said: "There is fantastic creative talent in Cornwall, and the screening and pitching event offered a chance for us to share their potential with a wider audience. The feedback from the industry audience was excellent - they were really impressed by the range and quality of the Cornish films. The comedies provoked lots of laughter, and at least one of the films made the audience cry. Local talent made contact with agents and producers who are now keen to develop ideas with them. So all in all, a great result!"
The screening included some of the highlights from the Cornwall Film Festival, recent O-region competitions, and the four UK Film Council Digital Shorts filmed in Cornwall in 2005/6.
