Based on an outline script by Oscar-winner Geoffrey Fletcher, this year's batch of films saw the writer's words transformed into a fast paced action film, a suspenseful thriller, a romantic comedy, a dark thriller and a Sci-Fi Drama.

The Mill collaborated with director Gary Freedman from the Glue Society on this winning entry 'Exit Log', which presents a vision of the future where time travel has been invented and made an emergency safety feature on all space vessels. Inspired by the works of classic Science Fiction writers Phillip K Dick and Isaac Asimov, Cornwell's narrative sees shipmates Amy and Hannah activate their 'timedrive' to roll time back 3-minutes and find an escape from the critical situation they find themselves in.

Mill producer Tom Johnson comments, "Having worked with Gary on a few commercial projects we jumped at the opportunity to work with him on this short film. The project entailed building a space ship entirely in CG, designing, animating and comping three separate interfaces and extensive tracking and wire removal work. All of this was then polished off with a fantastic grade by Matt Osborne."

2D Lead Artist Carl Norton added, "This project was a huge team effort with artists working across 3D, Flame, Nuke and AFX which meant we developed a really strong and reliable workflow to efficiently work together and complete the project on time. We're all really proud of the finished film."
