Henry Darke selected for Channel 4's 'Coming Up' scheme

Henry Darke (MA Filmmaking 2008) has been accepted on the prestigious 'Coming Up' talent scheme. He writes..
"There were 700 applications. I had an interview, then workshops on the 1st-3rd September, there were 28 people at the workshops, half writer's and half director's, we had exercises and from the workshops they picked half of us.

In the next couple of weeks I will be paired with a writer with an original half hour drama script that will be developed over the next three months through Channel 4 and Touchpaper TV and Producer Emma Burge.
