University of Bolton student Jamie Coles joined actors and media professionals at a film premiere and awards ceremony in Manchester city centre on Tuesday, 28 April.

Jamie, a student on the University's Media, Writing and Production course, was invited to attend the event as a runner-up in the Environment Agency Tomorrow's World film competition.

The aim of the competition was to create a short film designed to convey to business leaders important messages on climate change. The contest also provided an opportunity for students, at universities across the North West, to showcase their talent.

Jamie's script, 'Where's the Water Gone?' came second and earned him the invitation to the awards event where he joined TV producer Phil Redmond, DJ Terry Christian, actor Pete Postlethwaite, filmmakers and media professionals for the premiere of the two winning films.

Jamie said: 'I got through to a shortlist of five and had to pitch my idea to a panel of film and media professionals which was pretty daunting. I was disappointed not to win but it was a great opportunity and it gave me some real experience of how the media industry works.'

Kerry Fletcher, a student on the same course as Jamie, was also shortlisted  but did not get through to the final stages.
