AFIN recognition

From the Judges, on READING OF THE WILL (2025)

From the Judges, on READING OF THE WILL

The writing crackles with a fresh, funny concept that turns something as ordinary as a will reading into an escalating comedy of errors. It struck the panel how vividly the characters come alive, their personalities shining through, while the flashback structure bounces across timelines and still makes clean, satisfying sense. This is a genuinely dark comedy that lands its laughs and its memorable, electric characters with a consistent, well-managed sense of chaos.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
