<h1><strong>Mid-Sussex filmmakers continue awards success</strong></h1>
Matthew and Michael Rowney, from Burgess Hill, have continued their awards success with a slew of international prizes for their latest film projects.

The brothers, who run <em>Rowney Brothers Motion Pictures</em>, have won five awards since the end of last year as well as seven nominations.

Their awards include the Award of Excellence at <em>the Headline International Film Festival</em> (HIFF), which Michael won for his unproduced feature screenplay ‘Try Again’.

They were also nominated for Best Director and Producer at the <em>Gold Movie Awards</em> for their Stephen King adaptation ‘I Am The Doorway’, after being shortlisted alongside Oscar-winning short film ‘The Silent Child’.

In the coming weeks, the brothers will hear if their unproduced short screenplay ‘Dear Spero’ has won the <em>Hill Country Film Festival</em> and are also waiting to find out if their sketch ‘Killing Remy’ has won Best Director and Best Original Prop at the <em>Oniros Film Awards</em> in Italy.

The news is the latest development in what has been a busy year for Matthew and Michael.

They are currently in the midst of writing their debut feature film and are also wrapping post-production on ‘Odilo Fabian or (The Possibility of Impossible Dreams)’. The fantasy short film will be released on the festival circuit later this year and features an all-star cast including Kacey Ainsworth (<em>Grantchester</em>), Isabelle Allen (<em>Les Miserables</em>), Louisa Connolly-Burnham (<em>Call the Midwife</em>), Luke Brandon-Field (<em>American Poltergeist</em>) and Shefali Chowdhury (<em>Harry Potter</em>).
