The 2023 British Short Film Awards took place on Nov. 7 in an intimate ceremony at the Marylebone Theatre in London, hosted by Alex Zane. The night celebrated the best of this year’s British short films, with several of them qualifying for the Oscars and BAFTAs. Short film royalty were in attendance, including Slick Films founder Chris Overton, who won the Best Live Action Short Film Oscar in 2018 with Rachel Shenton for “The Silent Child.”
Gold Derby attended the warm, jovial ceremony, which is now in its third year. The ceremony featured a screening of “The Irish Goodbye,” which won Best Live Action Short at the Oscars earlier this year, along with an illuminating chat conducted by Alex Zane with the film’s directors Tom Berkeley and Ross White. Their new film, “The Golden West,” won Cinematography, Score, and Director.

"How far would you go to pay your rent?" That's the unsettling question at the core of the horror comedy short film The Cost of Living, and ahead of its January 22nd premiere on Gunpowder & Sky's Alter, we've been provided with the exclusive teaser trailer to share with Daily Dead readers.
Directed by Tom Nicoll from a screenplay he wrote with Zach Newby, The Cost of Living stars Lorna Nickson Brown, Jonathan Coote, and Liam Harkins.
Nicoll shared what inspired him to make The Cost of Living: "I wanted to make this film because, like many young people living in a big city, I remain constantly shocked about how much money it costs simply to have a room in such a city. I thought about how to capture that idea in a humorous and satirical way, and this film is the result of that. Without wanting to give too much away,...

Stars: Miranda Raison, Sam Keeley, Daniella Kertesz, Elarica Gallacher, Lorna Nickson Brown | Written by Andrew Ellard | Directed by Gez Medinger, Robin Schmidt
The human race is obsessed with what happens when we die, depending on your beliefs there is heaven or hell, an afterlife or even just nothing. AfterDeath raises a few questions of where we go, and raises some thought-provoking issues about the process of moving on… When five people find themselves trapped in an abandoned beach house they soon realise they are dead. With “limbo” slowly closing in on them and a demonic shadow attacking them based on their sins, where are they bound? Heaven or Hell?
AfterDeath doesn’t push religion on you and in a way this may be a weakness. For the most part though, the characters are pretty much clued in on the fact that they are dead and will either be going to heaven or hell.
