Liverpool Screen School success
22 January 2010
A group of Media Professional Studies students experienced a lesson with a difference when they went to watch a film at Liverpool One’s Odeon cinema which had been produced by graduates from their own degree.
Former MPS students Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern, now filmmakers based in London, have directed a film about last year's reunion of the pop group Blur entitled 'No 
Distance Left to Run.'
The film was premiered in Leicester Square last week and is now out on world-wide release.
Head of MPS Trevor Long commented "When the boys got in touch about their film being on general release I couldn't resist taking current students to the local Odeon to see it. There can't be a better motivation for them than watching the work of graduates from their own course on the big screen."
Will and Dylan will attend a special LJMU screening of their film later in the year. 'No Distance Left to Run' completes a recent hat-trick of international film success for LJMU Screen School alumni.
Film Studies graduates Adam Wright and Hannah Quinn had their short film selected for the Cannes film festival and 2006 Film and Drama graduate Claire Foy has followed up her starring role in the BBC's 'Little Dorrit' by appearing alongside Nicholas Cage in her first Hollywood role in 'Season of the Witch,' which is out on general release in March.
