Slick Films, who won an Oscar back in 2018, have joined forces with a very talented director, Daniel Deville, to make a new short film.. '
'A tale of two sisters; a vulnerable young girl, trapped in the dark world of sex-trafficking. The other; a working class Northern Mother, fighting against all odds to bring her sister home.'

By Any Other Name
We've attached some amazing talent including Jade Anouka ('His Dark Materials', 'Cleaning Up' and HBO's 'Dune: The Sisterhood'), Duncan Pow ('Star Wars: Andor', 'Star Wars: Rogue One', 'The Salisbury Poisonings' and 'Halo'), Avita Jay ('Silent Witness' and 'The Rezort').
The film is a powerful, cinematic film that has an important two-fold message- to raise awareness of sex trafficking but also to raise awareness for the deaf community- which feels very timely now, given the success of Troy Kotsur's Oscar win for 'CODA', Rose Ayling-Ellis winning 'Strictly Come Dancing' and the passing of the British Sign Language Act in parliament.
This project is very unique as we viewed this project as a social enterprise as we successfully recruited deaf professionals to work alongside hearing professionals (the ratio was 50:50 and it was a fantastic partnership to witness). Many of the hearing crew have vowed to learn a bit of sign language as they were so inspired. Some have even gone on to say that they'll recommend the deaf crew for future work, which is a success in itself!
We are looking to raise another £14K to fund the post production stages and we would love your help as we believe that the film will go on to do very well at festivals- we have our sights on an Oscar.
