Carmella in competition at Insight Film Festival

The Insight Festival was created in Manchester in 2007 by a number of media professionals who wanted to promote community cohesion by encouraging filmmakers to look at faith, and has grown into an International Film Festival attracting entries from across the globe. Insight focuses on faith as a theme, not working to promote any religious or nonreligious views, instead offering a platform through which faith can be explored, discussed and understood.

Cracking Review for "Destiny"

Capitol Weekly: Politics at the Movies:

The true highlight was the final film, Destiny Lives Down the Road. It was filmed using non-professional actors, mostly playing themselves, in the town of Chalmette, Louisiana, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The short film follows the day-to-day existence of a poor teenage girl, played by Dominique Thompson, as she tries to resume her life after the hurricane. She attempts to raise her two younger siblings, deal with her negligent mother and divorced father, and raise enough money to resume her hobby of dancing. The understated performances feel extremely real, right down to the distinct accents, and the shots of Chalmette, with overturned boats and rusting, abandoned cars, paints a grim picture of Post-Katrina life. Directors Daneeta Lorreta Jackson and Patrick Jackson move the film naturally to a bleak ending. Hurricane Katrina has spawned a host of media depictions, but few have the understated, personal despair of Destiny Lives Down the Road.

Destiny to screen at the 55th BFI London Film Festival

We are extremely pleased to announce that "Destiny lives Down the Road" will screen at the 55th BFI London Film Festival. Some info about the festival here:

The London Film Festival started in 1956 when a group of film critics headed by the famous Dilys Powell - the film critic for the Sunday Times - got together over dinner.

They discussed the festivals at Cannes and Venice and agreed that London needed one too. Its aim was to give the public the opportunity to see films from around the world that were not being shown in the cinema. Originally conceived as a 'festival of festivals', screening a selection of strong titles from other European festivals, the first London Film Festival screened 15 films from an impressive array of directors, including Luchino Visconti, Akira Kurosawa and Andrzej Wajda. Most screenings are attended by the people involved in making the films, from actors and directors, to producers and stuntmen! This gives the Festival screenings a unique and intimate feeling, as the audience interacts with the stars.
