Succession writer and co-executive producer Lucy Prebble was last night awarded the 2019 Wellcome Screenwriting Fellowship, the prestigious UK screenwriting bursary given by the charitable organiza…
The Fellowship awards a screenwriter £30,000 to explore the intersection between screenwriting, health and science and gives the writer access to cutting edge scientific and humanities research. Previous winners include Jonathan Glazer, Michaela Coel and Sally Wainwright.
She said yesterday, “I am hoping to explore issues of biology and transformation for a horror film I am planning to write, as well as looking into the amazing collection of curiosities and information on the golden age of magic that their recent exhibition has housed, for a long-term project.” “I’m so delighted and excited about this award,” she continued. “The world of medicine and biology speaks to me in a way that perhaps other arts awards celebrations don’t. They can feel a little self-congratulatory, whereas Wellcome does feel genuinely progressive and forward-facing in terms of thinking about how technology and medicine can help us and help us express ourselves through the arts.
She continues, “But there are also a lot of talks about going more international than we’ve gone before, which is to do with the relationship between the media industry and international countries. The way international countries input, control and fund the media in ways that aren’t talked about as clearly as they should be. I can’t talk too much about it because we might not make that arc but there are big conversations about how countries and media intersect at the moment.
