What happens after ScriptEd?

For previous participant Devon Johnson, it meant having the knowledge and confidence to take that next step into the script editing world.

Applications for the next ScriptEd programme are open now.

Yorkshire on screen at Edinburgh International Film Festival

We’re delighted to see The State of Us premiering at Edinburgh International Film Festival on 14 August.

Filmed in Bradford in May and June 2025, the production was supported by the Screen Yorkshire Film Office team during prep and filming, with many of our brilliant Yorkshire crew working on the shoot.

Co-directed by Ollie Gardner and Jake Harvey and starring Frances Barber, Sam Bottomley and Sunetra Sarker, The State of Us follows Frankie as he breaks out his best friend Taylor for one final night out. What follows is laughter, heartbreak and home truths as their friendship faces the ultimate test.

A huge congratulations to everyone involved. We’re always proud to see productions made in Yorkshire heading out into the world. If you are in Edinburgh for the Festival, be sure to check it out.
