The First BITESIZE CINEMA Programme (Winter 06) features a world exclusive look at the 11:22 Entertainment short film production Hawk. We believe this may be a world first – the first time a short film trailer has been shown before a short film screening. Hawk is a fantasy film based on old Welsh mythology and legend and was filmed on location in the Snowdonia mountains. You can catch the trailer exclusively before all screenings of Bitesize Cinema: Winter 06. You can find out more about Hawk, here: www.hawkthemovie.com
