Film4 Productions won an inaugural Star Of London Award at the London International Film Festival, where The Scouting Book For Boys screenwriter Jack Thorne picked up the Best Newcomer prize. Can Film4 repeat this success at the British Independent Film Awards (or BIFAS) which are being held on Sunday 6 December and where Film4 Productions are in the running for nine prestigious gongs?

Actors Dominic Cooper and Jodie Whittaker were on hand to present Scouting Book For Boys screenwriter Jack Thorne with the London International Film Festival Best Newcomer Award. According to the jury, chaired by Anjelica Huston, "Jack Thorne is a poetic writer with an end-of-the-world imagination and a real gift for storytelling. Thorne's substantial authorship is revealed in the unique voices of the film's characters and the rich, soulful and playful layering of the story."
