A GLOBAL wedding filmmaker has compared the feeling of scooping a second national award to winning an 'Oscar'.

Mujahaid Bin Jamshaid, of Amor Media Productions Ltd, said he is proud to 'put Nelson on the map' after his company was awarded the Best Video Company In The UK at the British Asian Wedding Awards 2019 earlier this month.

The Nelson man was also named Regional Northwest Winner For Best Filmmaker and Film Company following nominations involving hundreds of top film companies. The 33-year-old said: "It is like wining an Oscar, Bafta and a Golden Globes award all on the same night."

The Manchester-based film company started as a small business in Nelson around 10 years ago. Mr Jamshaid initially started their work in wedding cinematography and shot some of the world's most luxurious and extravagant weddings. The company quickly grew into an international brand with offices in Manchester, London and Dubai, Mr Jamshaid said.

He added: "We have worked with some of the world’s most iconic brands."

In 2017, Amor Media Productions were crowned Best Film Company in the Northwest and also Best Videographer Of The Year.
