Case StudyAnnie Watson took part in Spark 2006
Annie Watson's script Invisible was selected as one of the two scripts to be developed as part of Screen Yorkshire's Spark scheme. It is a psychological thriller about a mother at the end of her tether with three young children and an unappreciative husband. She feels invisible and then actually becomes invisible and enters a parallel world full of invisible people. She discovers a great deal about herself, not all of it so good, and finally must decide if she wants to dissolve into an 'abyss of nothingness' or fight to become visible again and be with her family. ‘It's a happy ending!' says Annie.
Annie Watson said the following about her experience on Spark:
‘Spark was an incredibly useful, inspiring and enjoyable scheme which came at exactly the right moment for me, having struggled to write a feature script in the previous year. The structure of meetings and homework worked well and having specified time to just think and write was such a pleasure! I learnt so much about the importance of genres and structuring and cannot imagine that this information will cease to be useful for my future writing projects. Thank you Screen Yorkshire.'
