BIFAs - British Independent Film Awards

The night of the BIFAs is always exciting - because they tend to vote for some of the best films of the year. Not surprising since their indies that get submitted.

It's been a greta year for UK talent.

I'm delighted that Armando and his team have won best screenplay. The dialogue of those guys is absolutely f**cking amazing!

On a personal note, I'm also thrilled because Armando and I were students together way back then, and he was definitely destined for sharp comedy.
