Kelly Wins Jerwood Moving Image Award

The Jerwood Charitable Foundation has recently announced the winners of the inaugural Jerwood Moving Image Awards. Johnny Kelly, represented by Nexus Productions, was one of three winners for his film 'Procrastination' with each winner receiving £10,000 in the first ever major award in the UK for artists working in digital moving image.
Procrastination by Johnny Kelly is a vivid and funny account of putting things off, a human experience that anyone can relate to, and whose humour is derived from the sparkling interplay between the script and the visuals.
All of the winning films reflect the astonishing range and outstanding quality of the work currently being produced in this discipline and will establish their creators as leaders in their field.
The Jerwood Moving Image Awards were established earlier this year to support and promote the myriad disciplines that fall under the umbrella term 'digital moving image', and to provide a platform for debating the present state and future prospects of the artform.
Johnny Kelly commented: "I was delighted to be considered alongside such a strong collection of moving image work and very happy to be chosen as one of the winners. The generous donation from Jerwood is going to be invested straight into my next film."
