Common Ground sadly missed out on prizes at FEST Film Festival 2013, where it was in competition for the Silver Castle.

However, regardless of the result, we know that the film was seen by Melissa Leo, the Oscar-winning actress from The Fighter (David O. Russell, USA, 2010), and by Cynthia Hargrave, the producer of Wes Anderson’s first film, Bottle Rocket (USA, 1996).

The winner for best fiction film at the festival was Finnish film, Miss Blue Jeans, directed by Matti Kinnunen.

A full list of winners from FEST can be found here.

We are of course honoured even to have taken part. And again: we defy any £500 film to do as well…!
