AFIN recognition

From the Judges, on Hitman Wanted (2026)

From the Judges, on Hitman Wanted

Dark comedy with a genuinely producible hook lands with sharp comic timing and a cruel, memorable button. The screenplay builds from a hungover aftermath image through a clean escalation of misunderstandings, anchored by a wounded, impulsive protagonist and a formal, oddly lonely hitman whose voice carries real character. Confident dialogue and a tightly staged single-location design give the piece a controlled, festival-ready energy in the dark-comedy space.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
