Show Notes

Today we’re pulling back the curtain on a landmark moment for wedding filmmaking the British Wedding Film Festival.

Founded by Jeff Wood, Joce Boissin and Pete and Laura Lawson, the British Wedding Film Festival is the first awards platform in the UK dedicated solely to wedding filmmaking, it has been created to celebrate the artistry, creativity, and passion of filmmakers from the UK and around the world.

Though called a festival, at its core, it’s an awards platform - culminating in an Oscars inspired presentation evening - designed to champion the craft and push the boundaries of what wedding films can be.

In this episode, Joce joins me for an in-depth look behind the scenes: the vision, the categories, the judging process, and exactly what it takes to stand out.
