We’re excited to share that May Sumbwanyambe has been selected for the Scottish Drama Writers’ Programme 2021!
Helmed by Screen Scotland, BBC Drama Commissioning and BBC Writersroom, the programme pairs Scottish-based writers with Independent Production companies to produce bold new drama for the BBC.
May has been partnered with Two Rivers Media , a Glasgow based company headed up by Alan Clements.
The aim of the programme is for writers to produce a script to be taken to full development with the BBC, and in the long-term to establish working relationships and support Scotland’s wider broadcast industry.
