“This is a piece you would use to show people how to structure a short film. Really well executed and perfectly shot. It takes you by surprise all the time, culminating in that final twist which made me gasp out loud. Nick Moran’s acting is impeccable. Perfectly framed, concise, witty (funny, even), brutal and completely unpredictable. It’s a cut-throat razor of a film. Look forward to Calum MacDiarmid’s future work.”
Tim McInnerny (Actor - Blackadder, Notting Hill)
“Terrific. Writing. Directing. Really well done. Surprised how good it is. Really impressive stuff. Well done to you guys. Terrific work.”
Sacha Gervasi (Writer – ‘The Terminal’ & Director – ‘Hitchcock’)
“From a sequence of short films, ranging from the bad to the bizarre, 82 leaps forth stridently with a quality which is unquestionably of its own.”
www.nouse.co.uk (York University coverage of Aesthetica Short Film Festival)
“The film is the perfect formula for an award-winning short which has already seen success, winning the Audience Award at Rushes Soho Shorts,” said the judges. “Six minutes of a great script, fine performances and clever direction equals the 2012 Van d’Or for Best Film. Huge congratulations to Calum and crew.”
www.pictureville.net
“The (Rushes) Audience Award went to British production 82, directed by Calum Macdiarmid and produced by Alexei Slater, Jessica Turner and Turn the Slate Prod. Ltd”
www.screendaily.com
“The standard of entries was exceptionally high, and selecting an overall winner (82) had the jury arguing late into the night. It was a privilege to experience such a diverse range of films showcasing the unique and passionate spirit of independent film, and the quality of the entrants is a vindication of the Van d’Or awards and the positive impact they can have.”
Gurinder Chadha (Director – Bend It Like Beckham)
One of my key ambitions in the making of 82 was to make something truly entertaining. This may sound like an obvious desire, but having done the short film circuit the year before with my first film Worship, I noticed a certain trend towards films that were overly ‘worthy’ or preachy. Often film makers had a message that they were passionate about but lost the audience in trying so hard to tell this obscure, or indulgent story. For me the production of 82 was an exercise in either keeping the audience laughing, curious, or shocked. ”Calum
Calum graduated from Kingston with a degree in illustration and animation. His work first caught the attention of MTV, who hired him initially as an illustrator but quickly moved him into directing idents for the network. He produced a series of award winning work for MTV before freelancing on a variety of mainstream brands including Channel 4 and Living/Bravo/Virgin1. His last short film ‘Worship’, a stunning piece of work that explored Jungian ideas, dream imagery and the collective subconscious, won several awards on both sides of the Atlantic including Gold for best short at the Promax awards and Best Newcomer at the Soho Rushes Festival, London. Calum also specializes in underwater film and photography as can be seen in work for Living TV and Rosemount Wine. Since joining Great Guns, Calum has produced work for agencies such as RKCR / Y&R, M&C Saatchi and Wieden and Kennedy. For film and TV, Calum is represented by Curtis Brown Talent Agency.

Nick Moran`s career began with Roger Daltrey and Chesney Hawkes in Buddy’s Song. In Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), he shared the screen with Jason Statham, Dexter Fletcher, Jason Flemyng, Vinnie Jones and British rocker Sting, the last of whom played the role of his father, JD. Moran co-starred with John Hurt in New Blood (1999), and also starred with Joseph Fiennes, Sadie Frost and Tara FitzGerald in Rancid Aluminium (2000). In 2001, he played the role of Aramis in The Musketeer, a film loosely based on Alexandre Dumas` classic novel, The Three Musketeers. The film co-starred Catherine Deneuve, Tim Roth, Mena Suvari and Stephen Rea. He appeared as Scabior in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2. Moran co-wrote the play Telstar with James Hicks, a dramatisation of the life of Joe Meek, one of Britain’s early independent record producers, who had a massive worldwide hit with the Tornados’ 1962 Telstar single. The play was directed by Paul Jepson and was staged at the New Ambassadors Theatre, London, 21 June-12 September 2005. A screen adaptation of the play, directed by Moran, was released in 2009. Con O’Neill reprised his stage role as Meek; Kevin Spacey played his financier, Major Banks. After his directorial début in Telstar, Moran went on to film The Kid, an adaptation of Kevin Lewis’s book of the same name. The film stars Rupert Friend, Ioan Gruffudd, Natascha McElhone and Liam Cunningham. In 2013 he appeared in the hit ITV drama Mr Selfridge, alongside Jeremy Piven [Entourage].
