SBS screen writing competition winner

Earlier this year SBS put out a challenge to write an opening scene screenplay inspired by a funny/awkward family moment. The competition was judged by SBS and Benjamin Law, author of The Family Law. 

We are delighted that Armaan Keast (year 10) was awarded first place with his witty script, The Islamic Republic of Armaan.  Benjamin Law praised Armaan's  "sophisticated and subtle insights into inter-family and inter-racial politics. In the script's cultural specificity, we already find universal truths about family and race relations...I anticipate a great screenwriting career ahead for Armaan Keast, and can't wait to see his work".
