Desert Rose Films win on the 2016 Film Festival Circuit

Daisy and Postpartum’s win on the Film Festival Circuit

2016 was a great year for Desert Rose Films (Paton Productions) on the film festival circuit.

Our two short films Daisy and Postpartum were officially selected and screened at many film festivals all around the world.

Sadly we had restricting with both films due to the length and subject matter but where we could send the films too we actually did really well and so we were super proud of how 2016 panned out for us on the film festival circuit.

We took home fourteen awards for these film festivals which we are all super proud of and thankful for the honour of these awards.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible and looking forward to working with you all again in 2017 on even bigger and better projects!
