Chris Dickens - Head Judge
Chris' connection to the Festival is two-fold; he used to be a resident of Hailsham, and attended the Hailsham Community College. He also worked with Ringan Ledwidge on his feature film 'Gone' (2006). Chris' experience and knowledge of film-making as an editor is world-class; in 2009, he won the Academy Award for film editing on the feature film 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
