Congratulations to Russell Peet, who has won the Robin Hutt award for new film makers this year. Russell is a nineteen year old animator from Satterthwaite, who has been committed to film making since he was 15 when he was running animation workshops and weekend courses for friends of his own age - leading to his being awarded a North West Community Champion Award for efforts to inspire and nurture creativity within the community. His work experience includes an invitation by Aardman Animations, where he worked for 4 weeks, modelling parts of figures for the most recent Wallace and Gromit film: A matter of Loaf and Death. Russell will be happy to show his current film' Up and Over' to Film Club members and will also demonstrate some of his back-stage workshop techniques.     As they say: - "Watch this Space"
