George Allen was also awarded the Craft Award for Screenwriting; the craft awards recognise outstanding skills that the judges felt were deserving of special recognition.
George said: “To conclude the story of making Tandem with us winning an RTS award is something we only could've dreamed of. Being able to make the film together was enough of a prize as it was, and it's an experience I'll forever treasure - it's great to have a physical trophy to enjoy as well though."

Jacob’s film, Into the Mouth of Gold, is a powerful short film about Rene, a French Holocaust survivor who escapes a concentration camp during WWII.
