Olympian
Logline:
The Athlete readies herself for the tasks ahead. The crowd watches and the commentators follow the action as it unfolds...
However, this is no ordinary Olympic Arena and the audience... well, the audience leaves a lot to be desired!
Can the Athlete attain her goal: that elusive gold that can sometimes seem to be so far out of reach? When all support seems lost, can she muster what it takes? And what becomes an Olympic event for her, might not be for anybody else...

Did Alan Call?
Logline:
Edith (80) is struggling to retain a sense of her true self. A sea of disorientating memories confronts and overwhelms her, blurring the lines between past and present. She wants to discuss plans with her son, Alan, but he seems elusive. When she remembers a devastating event, she finally understands what has happened... but only for a moment.
Did Alan Call? is the rewritten version of Dignity, as inspired by the 1-2-1 BFI feedback session with Laura Jayne Tunbridge (writer of Sweet Pea, etc). Available for FREE, read by award winning voiceover artist Margaret Ashley and produced for the online Audio Screenplay streaming platform OUTWRD
