A BUDDING Chiswick film maker battled to win a national competition by remaking Hollywood blockbusters - lasting just seven seconds.

Software giant Microsoft visited the British Film Institute on the Southbank with mobile film studio in the hope of unearthing the next Stephen Spielberg or George Lucas.

Competitors included 47-year-old Tony Davis, who dressed up as Hook to recreate children's classic, Peter Pan.

The Hopsital doctor from Grove Park Gardens, Chiswick, was joined by his daughter Ellen, 12, son Robbie 10 and their 11-year-old friend Deborah Banz on Sunday.

Ellen who played one of the lost children, said: "I'd love to be an actress and today was good practice. I really wanted to do Peter Pan because I will be performing the play at school later this year and it was fresh in my mind."

The family were joined by ITV at the Movies film critic, James King, who made his own film and gave participants advice on how to impress the judges.

Tony said: "We were only passing the BFI when the children saw others making films and said they wanted to join in. It's not something I would normally do but it was good fun and it kept the kids happy."

The winner will get to walk the red carpet before their film is screened in front of a live audience ahead of British movie, The First Grader on October 26.

The films will be judged by a high profile panel including director of The First Garder and The Other Boleyn Girl, Justin Chadwick, Radio 1's film critic James King and actress Alice Eve.

The winner and two friends will also be treated to a full VIP experience including travel transfers and a stay in a five star hotel.
