Film Town, our community filmmaking project, was a 2020 Scottish Charity Awards finalist and up for two prizes: Demonstrating Digital and People’s Choice. We were as humbled to have been nominated as we were chuffed to have been beaten by Simon Community Scotland, who also took the Charity of the Year Award.
