British film Never Let Go was awarded the Best Independent
Feature at the second annual National Film Awards in London last night.
The film, directed by Howard J. Ford, beat off competition from the
likes of Carol and The Gunman to take the big award.
The National Film Awards is an annual awards ceremony celebrating the
achievements of established and independent film makers , actors ,
actresses, casting directors , production companies and crew who make up
the motion picture industry. The National Film Awards holds 4 events
annually in the United Kingdom, USA, South America, Africa and
Australia. All nominations and voting for the NFA are submitted and
voted for by movie fans.
“’This award was totally unexpected and I’m so proud of everyone
involved. It was a massively harrowing journey making this film but this
award vindicates all the hard work, sacrifices and dedication shown,” the director said.
He added: “I want to take audiences on a very believable but
nerve shredding journey that throws them into the visceral plight that
is the worst fear of parents everywhere. Angela Dixon, who plays the
mother, absolutely nails the role and is supported admirably by a strong
female-led cast”.
Ford also wrote the film which follows the harrowing journey of Lisa,
a single mother (played by Angela Dixon) whose daughter is abducted
whilst on holiday. In a desperate race against time Lisa will stop at
nothing to find her missing child.
The film debuted at last year’s FrightFest in London.
Other winners on the night included Kingsman: The Secret Service, which took Best International Film, and Man-Up,
the Simon Pegg and Lake Bell starrer, which was awarded Best Comedy.
Samuel L. Jackson was honoured with the Global Contribution to Motion
Pictures award.
