Luke Malhi
Luke Malhi is the 2020 winner of the Dan Hemingway Creativity Prize, awarded for his excellent film Roulette.
Award winner Luke said: “I was lucky enough to study at the New York Film Academy at the start of my sixth form at Cherwell, while also doing my A Levels remotely. I was struck by the inequality in New York – the fact that homelessness and real wealth rub shoulders – and I wanted to make a film that showed that whether you were homeless or wealthy could be down to just dumb luck, whether you turned right or left on a particular day. The film follows a man who is wealthy, rude and entitled. He has a bad day and briefly wants a different life."
Luke intends to study Politics and International Relations at the University of Bristol, before becoming a filmmaker.
The 2020 judges were Miles Waters, Will Wiles and Sue Hemingway.
