A FILM centred around a chicken factory in Flintshire has been nominated for three BAFTA Cymru awards. 

Chuck Chuck Baby set and shot in Flintshire has been met with great acclaim. The film, which was in cinemas in July, was given four out of five stars by Observer and Guardian, and was BBC critic Mark Kermode's film of the week.

The film is centred on a group of women who work together at a chicken factory in Flintshire. Director Janis Pugh, who hails from Flint, worked at the chicken factory in Deeside - from which she took much of the inspiration for the film.

It stars Louise Brealey (Sherlock) and Annabel Scholey (The Sixth Commandment) and features several locations across Flintshire, including the Duke of Lancaster ship in Mostyn and Jubilee (Blue) bridge in Deeside. 

And Chuck Chuck Baby is now up for three BAFTA Cymru awards.

It has been nominated for Best Feature Film, director Janis Pugh is up for 'Breakthrough Cymru' and Caroline Steiner has been nominated for Best Production Design. 

Janis said: "To get a nod’ from BAFTA Cymru is truly amazing news for all the cast and crew.

"A low budget film shot in 26 days to get three nominations is just very special indeed. Here’s to Flintshire."
