Three projects from Stern & Wild filmmakers in the running for this year’s RTS Programme Awards

Congratulations to Stern & Wild clients Havana Marking, Miles Blayden-Ryall, Toby Trackman and Chris Wilson whose recent projects have been nominated for this year’s RTS Programme Awards.

Havana directed, filmed and produced the 90-min Undercover: Exposing the Far Right which is nominated in the Single Documentary category. Described by the Guardian in October 2024 as “the bravest documentary of the year so far”, the film follows investigators from the anti-racism campaign Hope Not Hate as they go undercover to reveal the racist ideology and media-savvy tactics of the modern far right. It is produced by Marking Films Inc and Tigerlily Productions in association with the BFI Doc Society Fund, HiddenLight, Channel 4 and the Doc Society.
