With an award under his belt, and a script that's just been snapped up by MGM, Edinburgh born Matthew Orton is already shaping up to have a brilliant career ahead.

The screenwriter, who graduated with a first in history from Magdalen College, Oxford in 2010, has been penning scripts since he was 17, and his debut feature film spec, Clean - a drama that unfolds outside The Shard - made the 2014 Brit List, getting snapped up by Qwerty Films. Now the Scottish scribe’s latest work - an untitled project about the team that hunted down and captured Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann - is being fast tracked for production by MGM, with cast and director set to be announced at a later date. On top of this, Orton also won the BBC’s Writers Room young writer’s competition in 2012 and earlier this year was selected for the prestigious film mentoring scheme the Guiding Lights programme, where he's been partnered with Bridge of Spies writer Matt Charman.
