A family adventure feature about a dyslexic London school kid sent to live with his grandmother in Scotland has topped the annual Brit List for the top unsigned TV and film projects.
Super Gran, which is from Keri Collins and with London-based producer Brock Media, scored 22 recommendations, four more than the second placed project, Henry Blake and Xiao Tang’s ‘body horror love story’ feature The Golden Radiance of a Beetle. The results were revealed at an event in London this evening in the UK. Scroll down for the full list.
Collins’ film treatment follows a boy who sent to his boring, cantankerous granny’s home in Scotland for Christmas only to discover she has secret superpowers and spy base beneath Loch Ness. He is taken on an epic adventure in her flying 1980s Mini to do battle with an arrogant tech bro, who wants to bring about instant climate change for profit.

A family adventure comedy has topped the 2023 edition of The Brit List, the U.K.’s version of The Black List for unproduced scripts.
Earning 22 recommendations, Keri Collins’ Super Gran — based on the British children’s TV series (which had a theme song performed by Billy Connelly) — led a total of 13 scripts that made the final list, which this year required a minimum of 12 recommendations for inclusion.
