A Northumberland filmmaker has won an international award for his work.

Steven J.R. Lawson, from Prudhoe, received the Award of Excellence at the Best Shorts Competition in San Diego for his animated short film Glow.

Mr Lawson, who is self-taught in filmmaking and animation, said: "This award is the highest I have achieved (apart from best Director)."

Set in a post-apocalyptic future, the 12:31-minute film imagines a world reclaimed by nature after humanity’s extinction in 1987.

Radiation has infected the insects and some animals which Robots use as their power source.

The film is available on YouTube at youtu.be/OHsjalaT70o?list=RDOHsjalaT70o.
