“It’s very exciting to see young talent developed within our company being rewarded for their ability a n d a r t i s t r y,” s a i d B i g S c r e e n C h i e f E x e c u t i v e Kimberley Kates.

She produced My Blood, which was praised for its use of lighting, lenses and cameras, with another Big Screen executive, Michael Manasseri.

“Being recognized with an ECA is truly the best stamp of a p p r o v a l a y o u n g D P c a n a s k f o r,” s a i d a w a r d w i n n e r G e o f f George, who heaped praise on the Deka brothers. “They are incredible visionaries who constructed a whole universe f o r t h e f i l m .”

My Blood is part of a dynamic and diverse slate of recent projects from Big Screen which is also developing Christmas movie The Key to Christmas and female pilots drama series Avenger Field.
