Film is important.
Short film is forever.
It’s what filmmakers sink their teeth into as they learn.
It’s what seasoned filmmakers go back to when they want to try something new.
It’s a simpler, shorter version of a film.
It’s a perfect humble story.
It’s our favourite thing.

How lucky was TweetFest to get to programme ELSA last year. As we continue to spotlight the filmmakers and actors who help make our festival what it is, today we share Nina Yndis’ () journey and what Nina has coming up next.

In Nina’s words….”The Elsa team had a fantastic time screening at TweetFest 2024. The opening gala was a standout, with an incredible selection of shorts, and we loved being part of the programme at the much-loved Hen & Chickens Theatre. Huge thanks to TweetFest for having us!
While Elsa continues its festival run, director Rebecca King and I (producer) have a slate of exciting projects ahead. Alongside filmmaker friends including Fayez Bakhsh, we’ve launched a comedy group—The Major Acts Against Wisdom Orchestra (The MAAW Orchestra). Our first short, Blue Rooster, is on the festival circuit, Pretty Privilege is in post, and two more MAAW shorts are in prep for shoots.

Rebecca and I are also developing two feature films—one of them the feature version of Elsa.”

Big shout out to for her incredible directing on Elsa too 🙌

Also Nina, didn’t we spot you on a very cool video game? That looked amazing!! 😎

Check out what Nina has coming up next. And stay tuned for TweetFest 2025 later this year.
