Broad Street Stories


The Broad Street Stories scheme reached its final stage with myself as one of four screenwriters selected to collaborate on the feature film's treatment.

The other writers were Diane Allton, Chris O'Connell and Myria Panayiotou.

The project initially selected 17 writers and their stories (from about 80 entrants) and my short script, Blue O'Clock in the Morning, went through the Script Factory's workshop process with the others.

Our multi-strand feature film treatment is now in development with BAFTA-winning director Michael Baig-Clifford.

I wrote an article about the experience for the Script Factory's website.
