AFIN recognition

From the Judges, on PICKAXE (2025)

From the Judges, on PICKAXE

Set in the harsh world of the Gold Rush, this screenplay blends historical drama with a gritty revenge thriller and carries real social commentary in its bones. The panel found the premise gripping and the escalation of tension confidently handled, with writing that evokes a vivid sense of place and dialogue that runs emotionally charged without ever tipping into excess. They responded to its rich character arcs and thematic depth, and to a central figure whose rage and grief are drawn with genuine intensity.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
