Derry Writer Wins

Earlier this month, Xaria Byron, a young Derry writer, won the screenwriting competition in conjunction with the Portobello Post Super Shorts International Film Festival

Her script, 'A Tale of two Serial Killers,' is a clever, dark comedy that is now set to go into production. The judges selected it from a more than a thousand entries

Xaria has written several feature scripts and plays and in 2007 made a music video for the Italian heavy metal band 'Nanowar'

She was short listed for the Handful Short Plays Festival competition in April 2008, which also attracted international entries.
