Everett’s central character, Alison, is arguably the most complex character presented in the festival. Everett is also a trained illustrator, making “Mother Mine” an impressive visual. - Nevada Sagebrush The consequences are unexpected to say the least. A convincingly performed and well-paced short thriller which slowly builds up to its final revelation. Masterfully done. - Bradford International Film Festival There was unanimous praise for the Hitchcockian twist in the tale about a young woman, apparently adopted at birth, seeking her birth mother. The judges unanimously admired the tempo of the story-telling and the new light that the surprise ending shed on earlier parts of the plot. - Shine Award Jury statement Publicity Infos Publicity contact: Susan Everett Publicity contact email: Susan.Everett@ukgateway.net Average: 0 Your rating: None Login or register to post comments SusanEverett's videoblog Printer-friendly version 10829 reads Comments (1) Yorkshire Short July 26th, 2010 — Anonymous (not verified) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9bCnWRhcaM Login or register to post comments	Links The Bulletin Board > The Bulletin Board Blog > Partner festivals calling now > Call for Entry Channel > Film Showcase > The Best for Fests > Meet our Fest Partners Following News Interview with EFM (Berlin) Director Interview with IFTA Chairman (AFM) Interview with Cannes Marche du Film Director Filmfestivals.com dailies live coverage from > Live from India > Live from LA > Beyond Borders > Locarno > Toronto > Venice > San Sebastian > AFM > Tallinn Black Nights > Red Sea International Film Festival > Palm Springs Film Festival > Kustendorf > Rotterdam > Sundance > Santa Barbara Film Festival SBIFF > Berlin / EFM > Fantasporto > Amdocs > Houston WorldFest > Julien Dubuque International Film Festival > Cannes / Marche du Film Useful links for the indies: > Big files transfer > Celebrities / Headlines / News / Gossip > Clients References > Crowd Funding > Deals > Festivals Trailers Park > Film Commissions > Film Schools > Financing > Independent Filmmaking > Motion Picture Companies and Studios > Movie Sites > Movie Theatre Programs > Music/Soundtracks > Posters and Collectibles > Professional Resources > Screenwriting > Search Engines > Self Distribution > Search sites – Entertainment > Short film > Streaming Solutions > Submit to festivals > Videos, DVDs > Web Magazines and TV > Other resources + SUBSCRIBE to the weekly Newsletter + Connecting film to fest: Marketing & Promotion + Special offers and discounts + Festival Waiver service Deals + Special offers and discounts from filmfestivals.com + Festival Waiver service + One month festival promotion + The Bulletin Board service + Become a festival partner Selected fun offers JUST FOR FUN > Bonus Casino > casasapuestasdeportivas.es > Casinoonlineespaña.es > Casinos online > Festival offers > Rahapelit About SusanEverett View my profile Send me a message Film Information MOTHER, MINE More artworks The Editor + Get the Editor's picks and news + Promote your line up during AFM - Cannes - Berlin + The editorial festivals and markets partners + Contact the Editor + The Editor's pick 'BEST FOR FESTS' User contributions Another film festival site to get obsessed about...
