Dave Skertchly’s film ‘Mary Rose, the The True Story’ was inspired by the cartoons made by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin back in the 1960’s.
It tells the story of why the Mary Rose sank in front of Henry the VIII on that fateful day in July 1545 and we find out that it was “true loves story…strange but true”.
Dave won the ‘Jackson Trophy’ for Overall Winner, and also Pat Doherty Cup for ‘Best use of Sound’.
