Said Denver McCord: “This is phenomenal news! Congratulations to Director Darren S. Cook, the writers Anthony Longhurst and Robert Putt, the cast, crew, musicians and everyone involved in making ‘Lucas & Albert’, they all deserve this recognition and monumental success.
“I couldn’t be more proud of the entire team right now and I am absolutely honoured to have four of my songs featured in this incredible movie.”
“To emphasise the magnitude of this accomplishment, this sees a low-budget, independent British film beat Sam Mendes 100 million dollar budget epic war movie ‘1917’ nominated in the same category.”
