PRS for Music has announced the winner of its inaugural 'Scene>>Heard', student filmmaking competition.
'Scene>>Heard' challenged student filmmakers to create a 90-second cinematic interpretation of a famous musical quote, song lyric or song title. From dark, black and white Ingmar Bergman style drama to colourful computer-generated animation; all genres were covered.
Inspired by the Shakespearean quote - 'If Music Be the Food Of Love, Play On' - Dominic Hatje, a second year King's College London student from Hampstead is the triumphant filmmaker.
Darren Haynes, Marketing Manager at PRS for Music said: "Dominic's witty film features two stuffed toy hamsters living in a Spanish guitar player's house. The film superbly fulfilled the musical brief as well as raising a smile and a few giggles among the judging panel".
Dominic Hatje, winner of the competition said: "Words can't express how happy I am. I intend to put the £1,000 prize money towards a new camera".
"PRS for Music is committed to helping the creative industries find the most appropriate music for their projects - everyone from advertising agencies and broadcasters to student filmmakers. Dominic is another happy customer"
said Haynes.
