Queen Eleanor College students film SciFi movie

Student films often presage the careers of very talented people who find their ways into professional film-making and broadcasting. PeterBorough Today reports that a group of students have completed filming a science fiction project with the help of a professional makeup artist.

The film, titled Darwin 200, was shot at Stamford School using the latest high-definition technology, and uses prosthetic make-up and CGI, to tell the story of how a special serum devised in a science class goes wrong, causing strange visitors to appear in the college, including a gorilla and Neanderthals.

The Broadway Cinema in Nottingham had a recent screening of the movie, which I would hope is eventually uploaded to YouTube or a similar service (legally) so that the rest of us can see it.

I'm a big fan of student films.
