IFE Services' Editor Wins iPhone Film Festival Award

KNUTSFORD, England, February 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --



Mike Staniforth's short video of his 2012 summer holiday to the US scoops Best
Cinematography prize at international film festival



IFE Services, the leading in-flight entertainment
[http://www.ifeservices.com/services/in-flight-entertainment ] (IFE) company, announced
today that one of its Senior Editors has won a prestigious award at the iPhone Film
Festival.



Shot on an iPhone 4S, Mike Staniforth's short film captures the many highlights of his
two week holiday to the United States last Summer. Together with his girlfriend, Mike
spent time in New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles and visited some of the
US's most famous tourist destinations including the Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam, Big Sur
and McWay Falls. The 2 minute film which is set to Outro by the band M83 won the Best
Cinematography award.



Founded by likeminded filmmakers in 2010, the iPhone Film Festival allows artists who
don't possess the resources of major film companies to be recognised for great filmmaking
using just their talents, creativity and iPhone.



"I'm immensely proud to have won this prestigious award," said Mike. "I didn't have
any plans with the footage I'd taken until I read about the iPhone Film Festival soon
after I returned home. What started out as a simple holiday video has turned into an award
winning short film and I hope it inspires other aspiring filmmakers."



Mike is a Senior Editor within the Production Department of IFE Services
[http://www.ifeservices.com/about-us ]. As well as licensing movies, TV shows, audio and
games, the company produces safety films and information videos for airlines' embedded,
portable and wireless IFE systems.
