After the success of our first East vs West Midlands Showcase in 2023, we are delighted to announce that we'll be hosting our second edition on 4th May 2024.
Once again, we will be screening a selection of short films, half of which will represent the East Midlands with the other half representing the West.
This is a friendly, supportive (and slightly competitive!) event bringing both of the UK's Midlands regions together
The event will take place at Derby QUAD 2pm - 6pm on 4 May 2024, and will include our film screening followed by our awards presentation and networking.
Nexus Cast & Crew Network CIC is a not-for-profit organisation and we operate a ‘Pay What You Can’ policy on all event tickets. Due to previous FilmFreeway listings being overwhelmed with ineligible submissions from all over the world after setting no submission charge, we have had to charge a small fee for submissions to our EvW Showcase as we our resources are too limited to filter through so many looking for eligible submissions. Please be assured that 100% of this income will be cycled into covering the costs of this event, or 2025's edition.
There will be three prizes up for grabs on the night:
- Best West (voted by audience members from the East)
- Best East (voted by audience members from the West)
- Best Overall (decided by our invited judging panel on the day)
