Shane Meadows is arguably Britain’s finest filmmaker, with the likes of Dead Man’s Shoes, This is England and A Room For Romeo Brass standing out from his mighty back catalogue. It was therefore a great privilege for us to sit down with the director (over a bottle of champagne) at the Virgin Media Shorts awards, last night, where Meadows was a judge.
Having made a handful of short films himself, before moving into feature length films – and now TV with the immense This is England spin-off drama, Meadows discusses his love for the short film, why it’s important to give it exposure, while also telling us about the winning short ‘Touch’ by Nimer Rashed. He also speaks to us about This is England ’90 and whether it not this may be the final instalment of the hugely popular series.

Last night HeyUGuys were fortunate enough to be in attendance at the 6th annual Virgin Media Shorts Awards, hosted by TV personality Danny Wallace, and taking place at the BFI IMAX in Central London.
13 lucky nominees had the opportunity to see their short film on the immense screen in front of a packed house and judges consisting of Shane Meadows, David Tennant and Mat Whitecross. However, and despite the incredibly array of talent on show – with a diverse range of short films that would make the audience laugh and cry in equal measure, there could only be one winner – and this year the fortunate recipient of the grand prize was Nimer Rashed, for his touching effort Touch.
“Honestly, I didn’t think I would ever win,” Rashed said. “Especially this year, because I follow this competition as a filmmakers very closely every year, and this year in particular there were some really great finalists.
