Three writers have been selected to develop their short film projects through our New Shorts Focus short film scheme in 2021/22. The scheme is for fiction development projects specifically for under-represented new and emerging Northern Ireland resident writer and writer/director talent. The three projects and writers are:
PIKE

Two young boys try to catch a giant, mythical Pike rumoured to live in their local pond.
THE MAGIC SPADE

Standing in a shallow grave with a gun to his head, Danny realises the only way he’ll dig himself out of this mess is with a magic spade.
THE GIRL WITH THE LION
Writer: Diana Cheung
An Irish born Chinese woman struggling with her cultural identity as she journeys through life in rural Northern Ireland, is followed by a lion, which hinders her efforts to ‘fit in’.
