    On behalf of our team, we are delighted and flattered to been awarded Semi-Finalist to your Festival!
    The Country Gentlewoman was shot in the autumn of our final year at university- to see a love for our film go from the confines of our campus, to now across the world, is surreal! May our campy kitschy short continue to delight and amuse your audiences with our killer cast and script!
    Thank you and wishing you all the best with all your future festivals.
