“There is no galaxy too far, and no impulse too extraordinary, to prevent anyone from finding their true romance.”

Winner of Virgin Media Shorts People Choice award 2011

“Although our judging panel loved 2:20, it was a different film that went down a storm with our voters this year. You chose the adorable animated short InaniMate, about an alien searching for love, as your People’s Choice Award winner, so thank you to everyone who voted and a huge congratulations to Micheal O’Donogue, Soulla Josephides and Ying Hui Tan for creating such a hugely popular piece. We hope they’ll make good use of their prize – £2,000 of brand new film equipment – and go on to do wonderful things. And who knows, maybe we’ll see them in the shortlist again next year!”
