Molly Burdett wins Gold at 1.4 Awards

December 14th, 2021

Our incredible filmmaker Molly picked up Gold at the 1.4 Awards with her beautiful and heartbreaking debut commercial for Women’s Aid.

Molly’s ‘Respite’ was awarded in the commercial ‘on the cusp’ category. A year has gone past since we made this. We hope in the last year that it’s helped in some part to raise awareness for people all over the UK who suffer from domestic abuse and coercive control to seek help and break free.

Huge thank you to everyone involved

Technically-savvy and creatively bold, Milo’s emotionally visceral imagery blends modern storytelling with bursts of hyper-reality. His promos have been featured at SXSW, the UKMVA’S, Shiny Awards, and many other festivals. His recent music video for Lava La Rue ‘Magpie’ has been nominated at this year’s UKMVA in the Best Alternative Video category.

Milo, now in his mid-twenties and based in London, grew up in a family of story-tellers and his childhood was filled with eclectic forms of creation.
