2013 short film
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Room 8 is a short, six-minutes-long film that was one of several short films that won the Bombay Sapphire's Imagination Series. The film is based on a script by Oscar-winning screenwriter Geoffrey S. Fletcher. After Fletcher completed the dialogue, the script (without stage direction) was released and contestants would create their film using this dialogue.[1] Room 8 was directed by James W. Griffiths,[2] editing student of National Film and Television School.[3] Griffiths won £40,000 from Bombay Sapphire to make the film. Although Room 8 takes place in London, it was filmed in Poland due to cost restraints.[3] It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and later won the BAFTA Award for Best Short Film at the 67th British Academy Film Awards.[4] It was the first and only branded film to win the award.[5]
