Short Film Showcase - Factory Farmed (2008)

Factory Farmed, 2008.

Written and Directed by Gareth Edwards.
Starring Jacob Court and Allen Leach.

After spending the early part of his career supplying visual effects on documentaries such as Seven Wonders of the Industrial World (2003), Space Race (2005) and In The Shadow of The Moon (2007) and directing the BBC TV docudrama End Day (2005), British filmmaker Gareth Edwards went on to win SCI-FI-LONDON'S 48-Hour Film Challenge in 2008 with the five-minute short Factory Farmed. Written, shot and edited in just two days with a team of four, Factory Farmed is a superb technical achievement that fully demonstrates the director's impressive visual flair.

Edwards has since went on to continue his 'one-man' film revolution with the release of the lo-fi sci-fi Monsters last year, for which he received a BAFTA nomination for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer, losing out to Four Lions' Chris Morris. Edwards is now taking his talents to Hollywood where he is busy developing a big-budget Godzilla reboot for Legendary Pictures.
