Train2Game students celebrate Avenging Angels competition win at BAFTA

Train2Game students Amanda Blatch, Akos Nemes and Steven Wiseman, winners of the Avenging Angel Competition, joined BAFTA nominated director and writer Trix Worell and Brett Findlay for a celebration lunch and creative discussion at BAFTA last Friday.

Having beaten several very high quality entries, the winning Train2Game team were invited to meet the Director and Producer of the forthcoming film. The lunch was a really great celebration of the teams efforts with discussions of how the game mechanics were developed and how the game might develop given more time and access to the script.

The lunch ended with a few choice team photos and a commitment to continue to develop the game concept by the original winning team for further consideration by Trix and Brett

“We were really excited by the competition entries from the Train2Game students, and based on ideas from the winning team really pleased to be moving onto the next stage of development with Train2Game students and industry professionals bringing it to V.S. and beyond.” said director Trix Worrell

“We have all confidence that working with the highly motivated Train2Game students together with hardened industry stalwarts will mean this essential component of the project will be as exciting and dramatic as the movie and graphic novel, and a crucial part of the Avenging Angels experience.” he added

Avenging Angels, a £5M independent movie written and set to be directed by BAFTA nominee Trix Worrell is scheduled to shoot in London in spring with a Hollywood ‘A’ list cast and crew and scheduled for release in October 2012.

The movie the first of a trilogy is part of a trans-media project including a graphic novel to be released worldwide by an established international publisher and a video game developed by the Train2Game students and team at DR Studios alongside the team from A Box of Trix productions.

Train2Game congratulates Amanda, Akos and Steven!
