As part of the first shorts anthology produced by The Uncertain Kingdom, Ernie gained international recognition immediately, winning ‘Best Short Film’ at Venice Short Film Festival, Prague International Film Festival and Los Angeles Film Awards, amongst others. Ernie is an intimate personal story set on the backdrop of a heavy socio-political time, Brexit. While it is not the first narrative short I edited, it certainly felt like a big step up the ladder. Working closely with a highly experienced director and having the privilege to select and edit the best takes of two of the leading actors in the industry was humbling and inspiring.
