Ed has been shortlisted by Northwest Vision for his project The Hive.
The Hive is the heart-warming tale of two brothers who, after struggling to find the importance of family, re-discover their relationship when a dangerous and unusual Beehive heist attempt leaves both of them more than just stung. Set in the current agricultural issue of the rising price of honey and value of Beehives, The Hive sets out to prove that some things are always worth fighting for.
