 | | For POV 2003, acclaimed London-based writer, Ben Rice, has been commissioned to pen a short story, which the six filmmakers will adapt for the screen. |
 | | Rice is considered one of the most exciting young British writers, with his novella, Pobby and Dingan (set in the Australian mining town of Lightning Ridge), currently being adapted for the screen with director Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty), and his second novella, Specks in the Sky, in development with UK production company, FilmFour. |
 | | Leading industry identities including Hugo Weaving, Rachel Ward and The Movie Show’s Margaret Pomeranz, also lent their support by judging the POV 2002 Awards, which recognised the achievements of the participating filmmakers. |
