AN award-winning East Morton music promoter has been appointed a judge for the Golden Nugget International Film Festival.

Sabir Hussain, aka Saby Khan, will help assess contributions from upcoming and emerging filmmakers across the world.

"I was one of just three people from over 80 to be chosen for the judging panel so I'm hugely honoured," says Saby.

"The aim is to find new talent – 'golden nuggets' – and help connect them with experienced people within the industry, and distribution platforms, and introduce them to continuing education and training opportunities.

"I will be looking to help promote upcoming talent from the Bradford district, and support them to launch new artistic projects to an international audience."

Saby has also been screenwriting a short film, Shadow of Doubts, which will be shot in Keighley and Bradford.

The production is being made to tie in with Bradford UK City of Culture 2025.
