A FATHER and daughter filmmaking duo from Bolton-upon-Dearne are celebrating again this week after picking up more accolades.

Dean and Rebecca Sills took a break from editing their Laurel and Hardy documentary to film their work on a Christmas music video.

Dean wrote the lyrics and the pair filmed and edited it in just four hours.

The story behind the music video is all about people who put their Christmas trees up way too early told by a singing bauble called Barry.

After the two of them submitted the music video into film festivals, it picked up a number of awards including best original song in a music video at the Mokkho International Film Festival in India.

The music video had its premiere in Florida at the Life Screenings One Minute Film Festival.

Dean said: “The feedback from the festival in the USA was really good they found it goofy, fun to watch and it reminded them of the Chipmunks.

“Which is good because we recorded it to sound like the Chipmunks and Pinky and Perky.

“As a child I remember going to my grandparents at Christmas and playing a Perky and Perky Christmas EP vinyl which I believe was my uncle Graham’s.

“We would love to do a Christmas charity CD maybe next year based on the Pinky and Perky EP with Barry singing a few Christmas songs including the one we recorded this year.”
