Are you a writer with a great idea for a feature film that you don't yet have a script for? We'd like to invite you to this insightful discussion and Q&A with Mojola Akinyemi, who's one of our BFI NETWORK-supported writers from the South West. Mojola was awarded a grant in 2024-25 to develop her speculative-fiction project Bloodstock, a prescient and compelling story that was also chosen for further funding to take it to first-draft script:
"THIS IS MODERN BRITAIN. THIS IS THE FUTURE. THIS IS HOW WE PROTECT OUR SOVEREIGNTY." In a version of Britain not too far from our own, where one has to earn the right to seek asylum, 'Bloodstock' follows two entirely different women whose collision disrupts everything they thought they knew.
Join us at this online event, hosted by BFI NETWORK South West, to find out what to expect as a writer awarded BFI funding, what it takes to develop an idea into a stand-out treatment doc, how to work successfully with a script editor, and what happens next.
