Students from West Herts College in Watford have won awards at the International Amateur Film Festival.

They were all awarded the Institute of Amateur Cinema’s Three Star award, which recognises a technically well-made, competent and entertaining film.

Jourdan Gomez-Phillips, Liam House and Daniel Ristic were honoured for their video Drug Gateway Theory, a music video that uses visually imaginative techniques to interpret sound while also exposing the “dangerous nightmare world” of drug abuse.

Meanwhile, Jaleel Adli and Ashley Steele received the same level of award for their work on Paranormal Hallucinations - an experimental drama that tells the story of a man who believes he is slipping into psychosis through the form of unnerving visions, only to find that what he is seeing is real.
