Laura Solon heads to Sundance Film Festival with Tooty's Wedding

Comedian Laura Solon is set to compete for a prize at the Sundance Film Festival this week.

Tooty’s Wedding, which focuses on a young couple whose marriage is on the rocks, has been selected from over 5000 entries to compete for the short film prize.

Solon, who co-wrote the film with Ben Willbond, will now go up against 64 other finalists at the festival, which was founded and chaired by Robert Redford.

Speaking to the Independent Solon said: "We spent about £5,000 on the short and our big plan is to turn it into a feature film.

"We submitted it to some short film festivals and won a couple of prizes in the US so we sent it to Sundance. It was a long shot and we didn't hear back for ages, so we assumed it hadn't got in."

Tooty's Wedding was produced by Hoot Comedy. The film won recognition at a number of U.S. film festivals including Best Comedy at the Rhode Island Film Festival, Award of Merit at the Accolade Competition 2011 and Best Comedy at Aesthetica Short Film Festival.
