Mother and son from Dudley shine at Barcelona film festival
Film stars Rita Jagpal-Mohan and her 11-year-old son from Dudley have triumphed for a third time in two years at a Barcelona film festival.
A double win this month at The North Film Festival in Barcelona saw Reece win the prestigious best actor in a short film award for his lead role in The Wheel Gone Kid trilogy.
They also won the Best Web Series award. A category they have won three times in the last two years.
Mother Rita said: "For us to get a hat-trick of wins in Europe against such tough competition is amazing, but even more special is seeing Reece win the best actor award."
The Dudley duo starred in their first Wheel Gone Kid film when Reece was only six-years-old.
Their success at film festivals around the world has included them travelling to Hollywood and New York to collect awards. Their winning trilogy series includes a celebrity appearance from legendary football manager Neil Warnock.
Rita added: "Neil was brilliant to work with and inspired us to carry on with our dreams."
The dream continues as a top European producer wants to market their latest trilogy at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
