I recently joined Sam Forsyth from Teeny Tiny Films at The Royal Television Awards to pick up the Best Factual Programme - Non Broadcast Award for "Teesdale Hill Farming Story".

I am very proud to have been part of the team at Teeny Tiny Films that produced the film with pupils from Cotherstone School and to know that such projects get the recognition they deserve within the Television Industry.

I was involved with animation, motion graphics and music for the film and worked alongside producer Sam Forsyth, cameraman and editor Oliver Smith and researcher Susie Blackburn to win the category out of the 17 nominations.

Here is what the judges said:

"The overall standard was very high and diverse, meeting equally high demands from commissioners. They were gripped by MUG from Primate Productions — a drama which was totally authentic and would easily hold the attention of the target audience of teenagers. FIRMENICH from Dene Films was a thoroughly polished production, while TEESDALE FARMING STORY — aimed at school-children — made every penny count. It was an original, inventive and charming film, which really works with its audience."
