Mummy's Favourite Shoes

Check out Amy with legendary filmmaker John Hough at the recent Hello Digital Festival where her film, Mummy’s Favourite Shoes, was showcased before the 1930s 'Bride of Frankenstein'.

Amy has engaged in various C Media projects over the last three years including Filmmaking Partners where we supported her produce her own short film “Mummy’s Favourite Shoes”.

Amy talks about her exciting experience at the Hello Digital Festival:
“The day was a real learning experience for me. There were only ten films being showcased and so not many people attended. This really worked to my advantage as I got half an hour, one on one tutorial with John Hough, and he gave me loads of advice for making horror films and films in general! So I really got a lot out of the day.

He said that Mummy's Shoes was one of his favourites of the day as it was the only horror film that didn’t focus on aggression and violence to create the horror, and was much more subtle and thought out! He said that the concept, the imagery and the abstract contrast between the sets was "genius!" So as you can imagine I was over the moon!! It was amazing to have such a positive response from someone as successful as John Hough!!

They’ve asked me to take part in a feature comedy horror film that the Killriculum is making soon, that John Hough is directing! So I’ll keep in touch and let you know how that goes :-D"
