Tuesday, November 8th saw the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum back in Piccadilly after its recent venture to New York. For the last ten years the Rocliffe New Writing Forum has provided a unique platform for new writing talent. The event also travels the length and breadth of the UK, benefitting aspiring screenwriters across the country.

The evening rounds off with a Q&A with the industry co-chair and a relaxed networking session.
