Several 2014 graduates from the BA (Hons) Television Production<\/a> course were shortlisted in the student categories at the RTS Southern Centre Awards, which celebrate the best of broadcast talent across the region.<\/p>\n Katy Davis won the Best Student Factual category for her documentary It\u2019s Just Play<\/em>, which explored the world of fetish and S&M.<\/p>\n Katy, who now works as a researcher, said: \u201cIt was amazing. I had seen some of the others in my category and it was great just to be nominated, let alone win.<\/p>\n \u201cI created It\u2019s Just Play<\/em> as I\u2019m intrigued by those documentaries that are controversial and about subjects and people that you wouldn\u2019t otherwise know about.\u201d<\/p>\n She collected her award along with fellow BU graduates Evie Baudains and Debbie Phillips, who helped her create the documentary alongside Barney Leigh, Laura Allen and Augusta Quaynor.<\/p>\n Katy added: \u201cI\u2019m so proud of the BU community, and the fact that we do as well as we do at these awards.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know you are going to a great university, but to win something is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n Scott Craig won the Student Open Category \u2013 open to any student feature under 3 minutes \u2013 for his film Justice, Inc,<\/em> which follows a man who is forced to appear on a TV show to execute a convict.<\/p>\n Scott, who now works as a producer-director, said: \u201cIt felt really great to win \u2013 it\u2019s nice to have your work acknowledged and recognised.<\/p>\n \u201cThe film raises a question on people\u2019s minds regarding capital punishment, but also the whole question of portrayals of the public in the media and celebrities who have done nothing, which are both semi-relevant and maybe that is why they picked it as the winner.\u201d<\/p>\n A number of other BU graduates were also shortlisted for the RTS Southern Awards, which took place at Winchester Guildhall.<\/p>\n They were Georgia Jasper in the Student Open Category, for her film Puppettears<\/em>; Claire Buswell in the Student Comedy and Entertainment Category for her film Vicar of Nibbleswicke<\/em>; Niels Wee in the Student Factual Category, for his film Soap<\/em>; and Eve Buckley in the Student Drama Category, for her film Picking Daisies<\/em>.<\/p>\n Nick Bamford, Programme Leader for BA (Hons) Television Production at BU, said: \u201c’My colleagues and I are thrilled, not just with the two well-deserved wins, but with all six nominations. This is a magnificent testament to the creativity, the dedication and the downright hard work of our third year students.<\/p>\n \u201cThey had to dream up, produce, fund and direct their own films entirely off their own bats, albeit with advice and support from us. Well done to them all!\u201d<\/p>\n Originally posted on BU News.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Recent graduates from BU\u2019s TV production course had their work recognised at the Royal Television Society (RTS) Awards.
