Frost's a name for the future
ANYONE who has seen James Cameron's masterpiece Avatar will appreciate the amazing amount of work that went into its making.
Then again, the production did have 300 million to play with and to create the heart-stopping 3D scenes that made it a multi-award winner.
Imagine then what you could achieve if you were asked to create a 60-second version of the film with a budget of 10.
Not a lot, would be most people's answer.
One 16-year-old Halifax schoolboy however thought different. He used his undoubted skill, tenacity, ambition, ingenuity and great powers of persuasion to do exactly this.
Now his efforts have been recognised by big-screen bible Empire magazine. And his small, but perfectly formed film, finds itself listed in the top 20 of the publication's "Done in 60 Seconds" competition.
Now it is up to the public to vote for the best five and a panel of eminent film critics to pick the eventual winner.
This weekend Corpses and Other Teenage Problems, a 35-minute movie from the same young talent premieres in Hebden Bridge.
Robert Frost is the name of this young man.
Remember it. We think you will be hearing a lot more of him in years to come.
