I work as a dramaturge for the BBC and National Theatre Scotland and advised director Niloo-Far Khan on her script "Scenes of Survival"
It was a great pleasure to contribute my film experience as a writer and director to my advisory role as dramaturge for Niloo Fahr-Khan and the digital film "Black Scots." The project involved transforming a theater monologue into an online film using simple means. "Black Scots" tells the story of a young man's escape from the Congo to Glasgow. He finds shocking parallels between his own violent past and the history of his new homeland. About the project: Scenes for Survival is a National Theatre of Scotland project in association with BBC Scotland, Screen Scotland, BBC Arts' Culture in Quarantine project, and Scotland's leading theater venues and companies, with support from Hopscotch Films.
