Taking The Impact out of Life’s A Beach by Mark Hampton
Every film made for a Create50 has two potential lives. First and foremost, each film takes its place in the final Create50 film, making its way to a big screen alongside the work of other filmmakers in a celebration of creative collaboration. The second life is as a standalone film, allowing the filmmakers to send
Forgive Me by Ben Marshall, produced by Team Salvador Dalek
We are a small group of film makers, creating low/no-budget shorts in our spare time. Our core team (of Kevin, Patricia & Matthew) met while working on a low budget scifi feature film in NZ several years ago. Working together we have made 3 shorts so far, bringing in other cast & crew that
SECOND EDIT… ‘The Survivalist’ by Oakhaven Films

Where Are You? By Infinity Room Films
In January 2019 I became aware of Impact 50 and its impending deadline. Inspired by the story and concept, I resolved to write a script.

‘Blood Sweat and Tears’ by Gingersnap Productions FINE CUT
Producer and writer Stephanie Ginger who divides her time between the Algarve and the UK, formed Gingersnap Productions specifically to make one of her own scripts Blood Sweat and Tears for Phase Two of the Impact50 incentive.

‘First Time’ by Grindstone Films
With the end of the world imminent, Danny has only a short time to “do it” ..for the first time. I found the concept of the end of the world very depressing, so wrote something that I thought would add a bit of fun. I was registered to go to Cannes, but in the end
Making Last Push Till We Meet Again by Tasbir Malle
It was going to be the biggest rule breaker! I had loved the idea of the Impact story when it first launched and even wrote a script. But it was only a couple of months ago catching up with friends and their projects that I realized the competition was open again. I started watching the
‘Prime Meridian’ by Inigo Productions

‘Last Push Till We Meet Again’ by Zade Aerial Photography & Video, post by Tasbir Malle
I contacted Zade Aerial who were excited to take up the project. I was struggling to find a Indian actor and fellow Talent Camper Omar put me in touch with an actor friend of his, Yanick who really liked the Impact idea, script and was excited about joining the project. Unable to find a disabled
‘Love Of My Life’ by Adrenaline-Fuelled, Sleep-Deprived, Caffeinated Pictures
I wrote this film following an article published in the Korea Herald in 2017 which was then picked up internationally including in the UK, about the high rates of domestic violence in South Korea. The Korea Herald reported that 80% of men admitted abusing their girlfriends. Asia overall, like much of the world, has a
‘Be Prepared’ by Blue Tartan Films
A small team that started in the northeast of Scotland, which uses local people to produce short and public information films. ‘Be Prepared’ explores the dilemma faced by two Guide Leaders on whether to carry on camping or to tell the Guides of their impending doom, knowing that they are miles away from their families.
‘School’s Out’ by Schooldays Films
School’s Out follows the staff and pupils at St. Mark’s (a fictional secondary school) as news of the impact breaks within a normal school day.
