WINNERS ⭐️ 🐾 BEST FAMILY FILM AWARD goes to Catching Fleas!

Sunday 6th September 2026

This Weekend was the London Premiere of Catching Fleas at the Castle Cinema, Sidcup. Where our beloved short film WON BEST FILM in its category from The Shortest Nights Film Festival - a BIFA qualifying Festival.

SUPER proud of all of us, the team who made this happen. BIGGEST thank you to Gem and Alice at The Shortest Nights, who were amazing at organising the whole event.

Our child cast, friends and family are all extremely proud. Catching Fleas has a place in our hearts, its charming, funny, quirky and unique. 🐾

Unfortunately due to last minute plan changes and a mad rush the night before, meant that I couldn't make it to the festival ceremony, Luckily Annie Lees-Jones and one of our young stars Eira were at the festival too representing Naughty or Nice? So thankfully there was a member of our small team at the event to receive our award!

Well Done to all the cast and crew for their awesme work
