FoodnFilm Celebrates Inaugural ’The Naffies’

FoodnFilm, a unique networking event that combines great people with food and film, brought together Manchester’s finest business talent to celebrate its inaugural award ceremony – ‘The Naffies’ - a night of awards and fundraising for Forever Manchester.

The idea behind ‘The Naffies’ was to fundraise for Forever Manchester and to create a fun and different take on a red-carpet event.

Scott Hadden, founder of FoodnFilm and ambassador of Forever Manchester said: “After celebrating our first-year anniversary we really wanted to take the time to thank and celebrate all the people who have supported us over the last 12 months. Films are always celebrated with awards, so we thought ‘why not create our own’ and so ‘The Naffies’ were born.

“Everyone had so much fun and really celebrated the evening the way we hoped for while raising an amazing amount of money for Forever Manchester.”

The film winners on the evening were: Best movie - Logan Best Acting Performance - Gary Oldman Best Soundtrack - Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Naffist Scene - The entirety of 50 shades freed
