I’ve always heard that writing for television is incredibly competitive and difficult to break into and so I’m incredibly grateful to the team behind The Break for giving me a really fantastic -and I think- authentic experience of what it’s like to work with producers, directors, actors and all the various creatives who worked together to bring my script to life.
The writers of the fourth series of The Break, original short dramatic monologues for 91Èȱ¬ Three and 91Èȱ¬ iPlayer, are all either from a Northern Irish background or based in Northern Ireland.
These five contemporary films about life in Northern Ireland gave our brilliant and dedicated emerging writers (Jan Carson, Karis Halsall, Louise Nesbitt, Seamus Collins and Emily DeDakis) the chance to tell stories and tackle vital real life issues affecting young people here and beyond.
The 5 monologues were developed by the 91Èȱ¬ Writersroom team in Belfast, following an open script call on our website, and produced by in association with Artis Pictures, with the support of .
