GRANDMAS DIRECTORS

More information

GRANDMAS are an award winning directing duo, from Manchester.

Their first short film ‘Norteños’, a dark comedy, hit the festival circuit early last year. ‘Norteños’ was long listed for a British Independent Film Award, won the audience award at Encounters Film Festival, won Best Comedy at Aesthetica and has been nominated at several BAFTA/Oscar qualifying festivals internationally despite its modest budget.

Over the past year they have been featured on DAZED, worked for Universal and their most recent music video for Pearl City was nominated for a UK Music Video Award. Last year the duo signed with Black Dog Films (Ridley Scott Creative Group) for commercial and music video representation in the UK

They are currently developing their next short film with the BFI and will soon begin writing their first feature film with the support of the BFI. Upon the global success of Norteños, the Grandmas are currently developing a comedy TV Series.
