Four Sixth Form students from Thomas Adams have been nominated for a national film award by the British Film Institute (BFI).
George, Thomas, Eva and Caitlin will travel to Leicester Square, London, on Tuesday 24th June to attend a premiere. Their short film, Severn Wild, is in the running for the Audience Choice Award at the 2025 IntoFilm Awards.
The students created the film as part of the IntoFilm scheme, run through Shropshire’s MediaActive group. The project brought together 20 students from across the county. With support from BFI and guidance from industry professionals, the group worked together to bring their film to life.
Severn Wild combines animation, archive footage and a poetic script. It highlights the damage caused by humans to the River Severn and explores efforts to restore it to its natural state.
The film has already enjoyed success. It won the Short & Suite: Made in the Middle category at the Flatpack Festival in Birmingham — a regional event that celebrates young filmmakers across the Midlands.

We wish them the very best at the IntoFilm Awards next week – good luck!
