Just Say Hi is a short 2013 British romantic comedy film about a blossoming romance between a boy and a girl who meet every morning at a bus stop.
Amber Wilkinson of Eye for Film wrote: "Even in this limited environment, McPhail finds unexpected ways to generate comedy while also giving the girl and the boy distinctive characters, which is no mean feat considering there is only one line of dialogue.
"[2] Robbie Collins of the Daily Telegraph described the film as: "One of the sweetest payoffs I’ve seen in any rom-com this year.
[4] The film was a hit with the judges and the audience at home winning 2 out of the 3 awards available making McPhail the only director in the competition's history to win multiple awards.
The production team were presented with the awards at a ceremony in London which included £5,000 in film funding with mentoring from the British Film Institute and a voucher for £5,000 to spend on Nikon Equipment.
