That the Parliament congratulates Daniel Kelly, who is an up-and-coming Paisley filmmaker, on receiving a BAFTA UK scholarship; understands that Daniel, who is a student on the University of the West of Scotland's MA Filmmaking programme, is one of just six people in the UK to be awarded the scholarship in 2025; believes that, by getting the award, Daniel will now receive financial support throughout his university studies, as well as mentoring and increased access to the film and television industry; recognises that this achievement is just Daniel's latest, with his undergraduate film, Gas & Electricity, winning at both the Royal Television Society's Scotland Awards and Student Television Awards, and wishes him all the very best in his future career.
