AFIN recognition

From the Judges, on The Case of the Notorious Roboticist (2020)

From the Judges, on The Case of the Notorious Roboticist

A concept that feels genuinely its own anchors this screenplay, built out with a fully imagined reality and dialogue that carries the voice of a confident, experienced writer. It reads as a page turner, the kind of script that holds you from scene to scene and leaves the panel wanting to see it brought to life. The command of genre here is assured throughout, and it struck them as work that would sing on screen at any length.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
