Pillion dominates at 2025 British Independent Film Awards
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Melling and Skarsgard were shortlisted for best lead and supporting roles, respectively. Skarsgard said: "I think it's really incredible that a movie like Pillion can get made in 2025. I love it when I come across scripts that are unique. Often, the bigger the budget, the more people involved, the more executives involved, the more anxiety it is, the less risk-taking is often involved because everyone wants a return on their money.""
The Independent covers a wide range of topics including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and produces investigative work such as examinations of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC. The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting through donations and keeps its journalism accessible without paywalls, aiming to reach readers across the political spectrum. The outlet also produces documentaries like 'The A Word', focusing on American women fighting for reproductive rights. At the British Independent Film Awards, Pillion won four prizes including Best Independent Film, Best Debut Screenwriter, Costume Design, and Makeup and Hair Design, with director Harry Lighton and actor Alexander Skarsgard praising British indie risk-taking.
