A FATHER and daughter filmmaking duo have had even more success thanks to their Christmas project ‘I Am Just A Talking Bauble’.

Dean and Rebecca Sills, from Bolton-upon-Dearne, found out at the weekend that their project had been selected for the Cortisonici Film Festival in Varese, Italy, until April 5.

The music video has been selected for the midnight section, Inferno Cortisonici.

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.

Barry the Bauble, a character Rebecca created for a short Christmas film is back and this time he is singing.

The music video is the father and daughter’s first music video together.

Dean has worked on four music videos in the past as an actor appearing in music videos for the likes of rock band Gentleman’s Pistols and the rock duo Blood Red Shoes.

After the duo submitted the music video into film festivals it has picked up six 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: “We appreciate all the support considering it only took us four hours to shoot and edit the video.

“It’s crazy to think it’s almost Easter and the Festival have chosen to screen a Christmas music video.

“I wrote the lyrics and the song is basically a micky take after seeing more and more people putting up their Christmas trees earlier and earlier each year.

“It’s really cool the music video has been shown in Asia, the USA and now it will have its European premiere in Italy.”
