BAFTA/Jonny Birch Following a nationwide search to identify emerging talent in film and television writing for children, Alison Down has been chosen.
Down will receive an expenses-paid trip and full delegate pass to the MIP Junior international children’s programming market in Cannes in October. The trip, which will include extensive industry introductions and networking opportunities, is organised by The London Book Fair.
Alison was selected for her film script Dai The Voice – about a boy with Asperger syndrome who is obsessed with Tom Jones – following a special edition of the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum, a long-running initiative which aims to give a platform to undiscovered screenwriters and help them to develop their careers.
