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.
