Røde Microphones has announced the winners of its third My Røde Reel, declaring the biggest yet.

My Rode ReelWith more than 1,200 entries submitted, the short film competition enjoyed an increase of eight per cent over 2015. Røde Microphones rewarded the winners with 16 prizes, recognising technical and genre categories of filmmakers of different age groups, skill level and country of origin.

The five major prize winners included William Royal (UK) for the film Serenity in the category of Young Filmmaker; Larica Perera (Canada) for Tik-Tik as Female Filmmaker; Normandie Productions (USA) for their film DUE/AL in theBTS category. The People’s Choice award went to Power Play by the Sketch Juice team (USA) and the Judges’ Film to Jay Red (Ireland) and his gripping drama Streetlights.

Judges Shane Hurlbut ASC, Philip Bloom and Rodney Charters ASC CSC, were impressed with the calibre of entries this year, with Hurlbut saying of the winning film Streetlights: ‘Three minutes is a difficult amount of time to transport a person, to move, to emote. This film does it so well, I love the twist at the end.’

‘The quality this year has been remarkable,’ agrees Sales & Marketing Director, Damien Wilson. ‘Our Female Filmmaker category saw a significant increase in the number of women who entered. Larica Perera’s category winning film, Tik-Tik, is sensational.’

Røde Microphones brought together leading brands in filmmaking, to assemble a prize pool valued at more than Aus$300,000, to be divided among 21 winners.

Streetlights Filmmaker Jay Red said of this year’s prize pack: ‘These prizes are unbelievable and an absolute godsend for me, I had just one camera and a few lights and mics for Streetlights, now I will have the gear to bring my film projects up onto a much higher and professional standard.’
