    This festival is run in a very professional way. Organizers keep good communication about what's going on and keep you up to date about deadlines etc. I enjoyed being a part if the winners circle with this festival as it has opened up doors for me internationally. I will be back in 2026! Thank you for considering me British Film Festivals!

    Having lived and worked in the UK for several years, I find this recognition from the British Film Festival particularly meaningful. To be honoured in such a highly competitive, truly global field is both humbling and deeply affirming. The distinction bestowed upon our screenplay has strengthened our resolve to continue telling ambitious stories at a time when perseverance is essential.

    Festivals such as the British Film Festival are vital to the future of our industry. Year after year, they champion fresh voices, uphold exceptional standards, and foster an environment where new talent can emerge and thrive—often surpassing the calibre of many comparable festivals.

    From the clarity and professionalism of the communication to the quality and enjoyment of the event itself, our experience was exemplary. We were proud to be represented in person by a member of our team and to feel so genuinely welcomed and celebrated.

    While festivals demand immense dedication behind the scenes, it is this unwavering passion for sustaining storytellers that ensures the continued vitality of our industry—one capable of delivering culturally rich, emotionally resonant, and entertaining stories to audiences worldwide.

    Our experience was truly five-star, and we look forward to the British Film Festival's continued success in the years ahead. We are sincerely grateful for the honour of Best Screenplay (Long Form) for THE ARMCHAIR TRAVELLERS.

    The event took place in a cool cinematic setting – a nice cinema at Pinewood Studios – and there were lots of exciting and interesting people and an entertaining supporting programme. The festival team was also very nice! Feedback for the festival team: I'm sure that the nominees would appreciate if they could edit their film clips themselves to the specified length for the award screening/presentation. Thanks for your work!
