Two productions with music by Owain have been shortlisted for awards in this year’s ‘Celtic Media Festival’ to be held in Caernarfon, Wales in March 2009.
The first is under the ‘Arts’ category for BBC’s ‘Before Your Eyes: Cofi Opera’, a documentary following the story of an ambitious project to create a community opera on the Ysgubor Goch estate in Caernarfon. Owain wrote the music for the opera with the children as part of a music in education project run by Cofis Bach. Producer: Marc Edwards.
The second nomination is under the ‘Short Drama’ category for Rhys Edwards’ film ‘The Project’.
Synopsis: Dylan has an idea to try and convince American Tourists that they have stumbled into a musical. In preparing for this, he recruits Bob, a genius farmer who has ‘Shepherd’s Tourettes’ , and Ianto the Swear, a foul mouthed musician. After deciding on the setting and subject of the musical, Dylan rounds up the Americans to Castell Dolbadarn for a fitting finale.
The Festival is an annual three-day celebration of broadcasting, film talent and excellence from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany.
