🚨Introducing Long Story Short🚨 Long Story Short is the result of a brand-new talent initiative from BBC Writers, created to shine a light on the next generation of UK screen talent. Spanning all four nations of the UK, Long Story Short pairs fresh writing and directing voices with local production companies to develop authored, ambitious short films destined for @BBCiPlayer and @bbcthree 🎥
The result is a slate of seven remarkable short films, each one a testament to the energy, imagination and craft of the teams behind them. Long Story Short champions homegrown storytelling, amplifying voices from every corner of the country, and providing a platform for fresh perspectives that reflect the richness and diversity of the UK today.
The seven writers are alumni of BBC Writers talent-development work. Each film is produced by an independent production company which has been supported by the BBC’s Small Indie Fund.
From the creator of Derry Girls, here's your first look at HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN FROM BELFAST. Starring Roísín Gallagher, Sinéad Keenan, and Caoilfhionn Dunne.
Coming February.
Proud to contribute frontline testimony to tonight's enraging @ITVX documentary "The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money".
Boris Johnson's government squandered £8.7 billion on unusable PPE - while nurses wore bin bags, NHS staff started dying, and grifters like Michelle Mone saw an opportunity to make millions.
We were given masks whose ear loops fell off & aprons so flimsy they ripped apart when you tried to put them on.
NHS staff stepped up - like so many millions of ordinary, decent Britons across the country.
I will never stop being sickened by the greed, immorality and absolute cynicism of the minority who saw a global pandemic as their chance for easy money.
Tonight, 10.15pm, ITV1.
Massive news! @ooofilms are working with the incredible @shockproofbeats AKA Séamas O'Reilly on #DEVOLVED our new Comedy for @Channel4 and @NIScreen.
