STUNG (35mm Short)

“Stella Gonet plays an Edwardian lady with man trouble and a hive in this intriguing Bee-movie, a costume drama with a sting in its tail”.

Tom Charity, Time Out Magazine

“A satisfying short, sharp stab of a film – STUNG piques the curiosity using sound and image to allude to so much more”.

Tom Charity, Time Out Magazine

STUNG screened with the Columbia Tri-Star Films UK release AFTERGLOW directed by Alan Rudolph in 5 West End cinemas including the Haymarket Odeon. It also played theatrically with REGENERATION at the Ritzy Cinema London and Cameo Edinburgh and with IN THE COMPANY OF MEN at the Watershed Cinema, Bristol. The British Council toured the film to festivals internationally after it's premiere at Brief Encounters Short Film Festival, UK.

WILDWOOD (TV Drama)

“WILDWOOD is a beautifully crafted piece”.

Stephen Garrett, MD, Kudos Productions

“WILDWOOD'S portrayal of innocence tinged with menace is both narratively powerful and visually arresting”.

Rebecca Russell, Script Editor & Writer 'Sight & Sound' Magazine

ONCE SEEN (35mm Short)

“Accompanying Morvern Callar is an attractive nine minute short, ONCE SEEN, in which three good-looking office girls in a smart wine bar ponder the epiphanous exchange between one of their number and a handsome barman. A real collaboration between director Shelley Williams and screenwriter/composer Annabelle Pangborn”.

Philip French, Film Critic, The Observer

“Elsa, Kath and Robin meet for a girl's night out. Over the evening they discuss a moment of innocent flirtation between Elsa and a barman, a moment seamlessly reinvented as amusing, perplexing and ultimately very poignant”.

Lizzie Francke, Former Edinburgh Film Festival Director

ONCE SEEN screened with MORVERN CALLAR at cinemas across the UK. It also played with BETTY FISCHER & OTHER STORIES and the surprise breakout film Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN. Channel Four/Film Four purchased it for broadcast in the UK.

“I do think Shelley has a strong sense of style and a keen ability to tell stories that appeal to a cinematic audience”.

Lee Magiday, Former Executive, Universal Studios

“Shelley Williams makes connections with beguiling cinematic skill”.

Tom Charity, Film Critic, Time Out Magazine

“We met Shelley after seeing her stunning short film ONCE SEEN, which was written by Annabelle Pangborn and produced by Kate Ogborn. We don't represent Shelley at the moment but she's an extremely clever and inspiring filmmaker and definitely one to watch”.

Tracey Hyde, Agent, Casarotto Ramsay & Associates

“I have seen the shorts (both Stung & Once Seen) and I think they show real promise”.

Dan MacRae, Former Development Executive, Film Council

“Shelley has a strong cinematic eye, is clear about what she wants and has a keen desire to communicate with an audience”.

Kate Ogborn, Producer, The Bureau
