Out Of Darkness premiered at the BFI London Film Festival in 2022, before a UK-Ireland release in February this year by Signature Entertainment under the title The Origin.
Cumming, his co-writer Ruth Greenberg and Oakley-Green have all previously been named Screen Stars of Tomorrow; as has the film’s casting director Heather Basten.
Ella Glendining – another former Screen Star – is nominated for director factual for Is There Anybody Out There?, with the feature documentary also receiving a nomination for the feature film prize.
Adura Onashile’s Girl completes the trio of Feature Film nominees, with Onashile also nominated in director fiction. Onashile has also been selected as a Screen Star, as has casting director Isabella Odoffin and cinematographer Tasha Back, with producers Ciara Barry and Rosie Crerar chosen as Rising Stars Scotland.
BBC comedy Dinosaur headed the television nominations with four, including television scripted; while 2024 Screen Star Richard Gadd took two nominations for his hit Netflix series Baby Reindeer, for writer film/television and actor television.
Nominees for the Bafta Scotland Audience Award will be announced on Friday, October 11, with two honorary special award recipients announced next month.
The winners will be unveiled at a ceremony in Glasgow on Sunday, November 17, hosted by Edith Bowman. The ceremony will be livestreamed on Bafta’s YouTube channel.
