Exclusive: A black comedy crime script has won this year’s Nfts Popcorn Award, which is arranged by the UK’s National Film and Television School and London-based production company, Popcorn Group (She Will).

Exclusive: The UK’s National Film and Television School and local production company Popcorn Group have teamed up to launch a new writers prize for “stories with strong identities which look to shape the conversation around social and political issues in a thought-provoking way”.
The inaugural Nfts Popcorn Award has been won by Nfts Screenwriting Ma student Lily Seriki for her “Bridgerton-esque” TV pilot black-comedy Silly Girl, about gender, race and societal expectations in Regency England.
The pilot follows two teenage girls who are meant to be mastering the performance of simpering femininity.

Argento, who saw the film around the time of the Locarno Film Festival where he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from John Landis, said: “There was excitement about She Will and I want to support new voices, especially women’s voices.

With Academy Award-winning “Roma” and “Gravity” director Alfonso Cuarón already a fan, Charlotte Colbert’s feature debut “She Will” will no doubt similarly impress audiences when it premieres at the Locarno Film Festival this week.
A psychological horror, the film stars Alice Krige (“Star Trek: First Contact”) as Veronica, a double mastectomy patient seeking respite at a rural Scottish healing retreat who soon finds herself able to mete out revenge via her dreams.
