This was exciting – I won the First Time Screenwriter Award for a feature length screenplay at the at the Best Script Award in London at the London Director Awards on 16th February.
My screenplay set in East Africa, Burma and Japan was nominated for the Grand Prix and for Best Historical Scrrenplay. The ceremony was held at the Close Up Cinema after a number of short films were screened.
About 400 scripts were entered and 25 selected for prizes.
A script entitled ‘Muddy Shoes’ won the Grand Prix but I was awarded an Honourable Mention for an Historical Screenplay, which was encouraging.

Thanks so much!
Brilliant news, Sophie; congratulations and good luck!
Thanks to you for all your help and support.
No problem. Have a great day. My fingers are firmly crossed!
At 11.00am I’m going to the 95th Birthday of a Dutchman who escaped from the Nazis as a young man. His wife was interned by the Japanese in Sumatra. She said her mother never really recovered.
That sounds interesting. I bet he will have a lot of fascinating stories to tell.
WOW …. Well done Sophie …
Thanks to your endless support
Wow, Sophie! So much talent! GOOD LUCK x Jill
Mainly hard work and persistence
Well done, Sophie! Wonderful. x
Thanks so much. I have much work to do, but this is a great encouragement.
I love your tenacity. It is inspiring.
I’m not so tenacious when it comes to technology. My photos won’t centralise and I can’t work out why. Do you know? Woodpress are pressing me to accept a more expensive plan.
I guess they have to make money too! You can say ‘No, thank you.’
