The BBC have unveiled a new slate of star-studded dramas including the TV adaptation of James Graham’s football play “Dear England” starring Joseph Fiennes, a new co-pro with “Euphoria” producer A24 and the screenwriting debut from “Sex Education” star Aimee Lou Wood.

The film went into production in November 2010 and was completed in March 2011.
A coming of age story which follows Ellen, a young deaf girl stuck in the middle of the deaf and hearing worlds, the film premiered on Film Four.
My Song stars Lara Steward, (who also appeared in BBC Drama The Silence), as Ellen who feeling as if she doesn't fit in, learns sign language, and attempts to enter the deaf world by taking part in a sign song competition in London. However Ellen finds her journey far more difficult than she first thought.
