The film’s co-director, Kit Monkman, said the nomination had come as a “complete surprise.”

He added:

“We’re delighted and very humbled to be nominated, particularly as it came from a public vote. For our film to be considered alongside some of the biggest movies of the year is fantastic.”

The Knife That Killed Me tells the story of Paul Varderman as he reflects on the events leading to the fatal moment his life is cut short.

The film is based on the best selling novel by Anthony McGowan, and adapted by Marcus Romer and Kit Monkman.

Shot entirely at Green Screen Productions’ Bubwith studios near York, the film’s post-production took place at Heslington Studios at York University.

The Knife That Killed Me was selected for the Rome Film Festival, London Independent Film Festival and Nantes British Film Festival, ahead of its 2015 springtime release on DVD and Video-On-Demand through Universal Pictures.
