A short film created by recent Buckinghamshire College Group alumni has been officially selected for the Bournemouth International Film Festival.

The film, named Tomorrow Never Knows, will compete in the Best UK Short Film category.

It was developed shortly after the creators completed their Level 3 Film and Television course.

The film explores themes of identity, pressure, and future uncertainty, following a young man, Alan, as he is thrust into a multitude of imagined futures after being asked a question about what lies ahead.

The project was written, directed, and edited by Alex Hogarth, with contributions from Korben Wilkinson, Finlay Jordan, and Felix Pridmore.

It was supported by runners Lara Dervish, Molly Humphrey, Michael Adams, and Bailey Burdock.

Chris Burgess, media technician at Buckinghamshire College Group, said: "It’s incredibly rewarding to see our former students achieving recognition at this level so soon after graduating.

"Their success with Tomorrow Never Knows reflects not only their talent and determination, but also the collaborative spirit and professionalism they developed during their time with us.

"We’re all very proud of them."

Alex Hogarth, writer and director, said: "Tomorrow Never Knows was a valuable learning experience for all of us and a true reflection of the phase of life we’re in.

"It’ll be something special to look back on, and it wouldn’t have been possible without an incredible team."

Nick Evans, film and TV tutor, added: "Alex, Korben, Fin, and Felix have always been driven by that rare combination of a passion for filmmaking, sheer hard work, curiosity, and a refusal to settle for second best.

"Great storytelling for the screen isn’t magic; it comes from understanding that it is a meticulous craft - one that must be learned, practised, and mastered - combined with an unwavering ambition to make sense of the world."

Attila Kiraly, also a course tutor, said: "I’m incredibly proud of our graduates.

"Their hard work and creativity truly shine through in this film, drawing inspiration from the French New Wave and the experimental techniques they explored while studying at Buckinghamshire College Group."

The Bournemouth International Film Festival is known for showcasing emerging voices in cinema and attracting entries from across the UK and beyond.

The inclusion of Tomorrow Never Knows in this year’s programme highlights the growing impact of independent work produced by early-career filmmakers on the wider film industry.
