Their directorial debut "Three Miles North of Molkom", has so far received acclaim in the trade press, (Variety calling the film "thoroughly entertaining... rather miraculous in its execution") and has been multi-nominated for 'Best Documentary' and 'Best Debut' across various international film festivals, winning the Audience Award for 'Best Feature' at Scandinavia's largest film festival, Gothenburg, by a record margin. Most recently, it was the only pre-release film to be nominated for "Best British Documentary" at the British Independent Film Awards.
