SERIES OVERVIEW
ODE MORROW (15) returns to her beloved estate to find a community fractured by a redevelopment plan that will see all council homes converted into middle class properties, and a town gripped by the criminal activities of the county lines gang. The estate’s last originals try to navigate these challenging times but things are changing and how they act in their precarious present will have a huge impact on their uncertain future.
THE WRITER
Zia Holloway is a bright young screenwriter who has worked in film, television and theatre. A recipient of the Script Angel Inclusion Scholarship, she has previously developed an original audio drama under the BBC New Creatives Scheme. Zia has been writing since she was a child but her true passion for screenwriting began when she was selected for the BFI Film Academy at the age of 18. She was then chosen to take part in the BFI Film Academy Mentorship Programme in association with BAFTA where she was mentored by BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Sarah Farinha.
Zia specialises in writing drama and magical realism, weaving the fantastical with the mundane to create rich, authentic stories. Zia’s writing is coloured by the vibrant experiences of her multicultural upbringing which has inspired her to focus on stories that explore family and community in crisis.
