Boy A Nominated for RTS Awards

February 29, 2008

Boy A, Cuba Pictures' first production, was nominated in three categories at this year's Royal Television Society Programme Awards. Along with Best Single Drama, Mark O'Rowe's screenplay earned him a Best Writer nomination, and rising star Andrew Garfield was nominated for Best Actor.

The television film, adapted from Jonathan Trigell's novel, tells the story of a young man's attempt to re-integrate himself into society after ten years in prison for an unspeakable crime.

Winners will be announced on 19 March 2008 in London.
