We are pleased to welcome director Paul Wright for a Q&A after the Mon 7 October screening of For Those in Peril.
Paul Wright studied film at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, where he made his short film Hikikomori, which won the Scottish BAFTA for Best New Work, Best Drama at the Royal Television Society award and a BAFTA nomination for Best Short Film. Paul joined the Fiction Directing MA at the National Film and Television School in 2008.
In the same year he made Believe, which won the Golden Leopard for Best International Short Film at Locarno (2009), as well as major awards at the Winterthur and Leeds International Film Festivals. His next short, Photos of God, was selected for the 2010 Berlin Film Festival. Paul’s graduation film Until the River Runs Red, won the BAFTA for Best Short Fiction Film in 2011.
For Those in Peril is his acclaimed debut feature, a study of how a man deals with grief, pain and survivor guilt after a fishing trip claims the lives of five men, including his older brother.
