The Deep Fried Film Festival hopes that it inspires not only filmmakers but also anyone who has been told they can't follow a dream to go out and prove people wrong.
Martin Greechan has since left fps media and is currently working full-time for Deep Fried Film promoting independent cinema.
Established in 2006, it was designed to be an egalitarian forum for anyone with the drive to produce a film and give them the opportunity to show their work on the big screen.
Any profits generated by the Deep Fried Film Festival shall be put back into the promotion and development of independent filmmakers.
The idea of one on our doorstep like the Deep Fried Film Festival is incredibly exciting, not just for aspiring film-makers, but for anyone with an appreciation of movies in general.
