We finally did it.Last night, Get Connected took over the Odeon in Covent Garden for the premiere of four short films that the winners of our Nobody's Perfect competition created.
The winners - Adam Wedd, Stephanie Lennox, Zemmy Momoh, Toby Cohen, Dulani Wilson, Timothy Unzola and Thomas Grigg - were all there, as were members of our celebrity judging panel Sandi Thom, JJ Feild and Georgia Groome.
As an added bonus, Anne Hathaway, Lily Allen and Jonathan Demme were also in attendance to watch a BAFTA screening of Anne and Jonathan's new film, Rachel Getting Married. Anne and Jonathan were late into their own screening because they took so much time to speak to the competition winners.
The films - entitled Overrated, Jump, Waiting Room and Numb - were all rapturously received by everyone in attendance. JJ, who had helped mentor the winners, said a few words to the packed out audience and was joined by Georgia to present the winners with certificates and DVDs of their films.
I'd like to once again extend massive thanks to everyone who helped us with this hugely ambitious project but especially to media agency Silence for helping us realise the competition, to Fair Knowledge for helping the winners to make their films, to our celebrity judging panel, to everybody who entered the competition, and to our winners for creating four intelligent, powerful, articulate and quite brilliant films.
The films will be online soon, so please keep an eye out for them.
It's been hard work but we think it's been worth it. We'd really like to do it all again, if you want Nobody's Perfect to come to your city, head over to getconnected.org.uk and vote in our poll.
