A couple of weeks ago we wrapped the production on our upcoming film ‘I Am The Prize’, starring the excellent
@russelltovey in the lead. The film is about a controversial self help guru, whose true identity is revealed in the midst of a lecture tour.
This is based on the script I wrote and developed with the BBC during the
@bbcwriters room - Writers Access Group programme.
We shot in Liverpool with a brilliant cast and crew. Featuring strong performances from
@faith.alabi ,
@janefowler_ ,
@jack_sherlock and Ola Teniola.
I'm very grateful to share our BTS taken by
@loxphoto . We are now deep into post production, and hope to get the film released in early 2026.
It was a genuine privilege to work with such a wonderful cast and crew. I'm excited to see what the future holds for the film.
