TV success for Dundee graduates

Graduates from the School of Media Arts and Imaging within Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art were among the winners at the Royal Television Society Student Awards for Scotland.

Jen Randall, who recently graduated from the school's Time Based Art programme, was the winner of the Undergraduate Drama award for her graduation film, `RAT'. Andy Sim, also from Time Based Art, was runner-up in the same category.

"This is the first time the School has entered for a RTS Drama award and the jury panel noted the unique, fresh approach to the work and the high standard that is the reputation of Duncan of Jordanstone," said Steve Flack, Head of the School of Media Arts and Imaging. "We are delighted to see our graduates enjoying this kind of success."

Alan Searle and Andrew Tulloch, recent animation graduates, were runners-up in the Undergraduate Animation category with their highly acclaimed film, `Unknown Element'.

The event's Chair, Henry Eagles from Scottish Television, noted that Scotland has become a hub for animation with a reputation for producing excellent student graduates. All three films in the animation category were of exceptional standard, representing some of the best work in Scotland.
