Rose Glass’ successful festival run just got even better. Her feature directorial debut, “Saint Maud,” has screened at TIFF and Fantastic Fest, is set to play at BFI London Film Festival, and has been acquired by A24. Now, per Screen Daily, there’s word that Glass has won the IWC Schaffhausen Filmmaker Bursary Award. Presented in association with the British Film Institute (BFI), the prize comes with £50,000 (about $61,500 USD).

Glass accepted the honor yesterday at the BFI Luminous fundraising gala. Of the award’s three nominees, who each had a first or second feature selected for BFI London 2019, she was the only woman.

“Saint Maud” is a horror flick about a religious nurse (Morfydd Clark) who becomes fixated on saving her dying patient’s soul. Glass penned the script.

“Rose Glass is an extraordinary talent and powerful storyteller,” said Danny Boyle, the award’s lead juror. “’Saint Maud’ is a genuinely unsettling and intriguing film – all the more so for being a debut. Striking, affecting, and mordantly funny at times, its confidence evokes the ecstasy of films like ‘Carrie,’ ‘The Exorcist,’ and Jonathan Glazer’s ‘Under The Skin.'” He continued, “Her skill in successfully incorporating original elements to a genre story and finding new ways to offer audiences a thrilling cinematic journey through madness, faith, and death signifies Glass as a true original.”

“I feel like I’ve spent most of my life trying to get a film off the ground and now it is finished and out in the world, it is amazing to be here and receive this prize,” Glass said. “It is hugely exciting — thank you so very, very much IWC and BFI.”

“Saint Maud” will screen as part of BFI London’s official competition. The fest kicks off today and runs through October 13. “Saint Maud” was the only woman-directed film included in TIFF’s Midnight Madness program.

Prior to her feature debut, Glass wrote and directed several shorts, including “Room 55” and “Bath Time.”
