British writer Lucy Prebble, writer and executive producer on Succession, has been awarded the 2019 Wellcome Screenwriting Fellowship from London-based research charity the Wellcome Trust
Secret Diary of a Call Girl has been awarded the 2019 Wellcome Screenwriting Fellowship from London-based research charity the Wellcome Trust.
The fellowship, now into its seventh year and presented in partnership with the British Film Institute and Film4, will see Prebble given a bursary of £30,000 to "explore the intersection between screenwriting, health and science." It also sees the writer provided with a year-long tailored experience with access to scientific and humanities research.
"I have always been a research-hungry writer and I am delighted to be offered such a generous opportunity to feed that," said Prebble. "The Wellcome Collection is exactly the sort of place and resource I would go to for beguiling procrastination. Now I can legitimately go there." Prebble added that she hoped to use the opportunity to "explore issues of biology and transformation for a horror film I am planning to write, as well as look into the amazing collection of curious and information on the golden age of magic that their recent exhibition has housed, for a long-term project."
Previous winners include Michaela Coel, Rungano Nyoni, Carol Morley, Jonathan Glazer, Clio Barnard and Sally Wainwright. Wainwright used the fellowship to translate Anne Lister's diaries for her recent HBO series
