What makes this one special

From the Judges

From the Judges

A comic short built on a premise the panel had genuinely never seen play out on screen, this screenplay wins its charm through sheer inventiveness. They found the dialogue witty and entertaining, carrying a playful, irreverent energy from line to line. Tightly told and confident in its own oddball logic, it reads as something fresh and unmistakably its own.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
