Film and Music Entertainment and director Dominic Murphy have added Iain M Banks’ adaptation "A Gift From The Culture" and an untitled Bronte project to their slate of films.

The films will be produced by the recently revived MASS Productions label, which produced Before the Rain and Benjamin Ross’ The Young Poisoner’s Handbook in the 1990s. MASS Productions is jointly owned by Mike Downey and Sam Taylor of Film and Music Entertainment together with the director.

Murphy, whose debut feature White Lightnin’ picked up the Hitchcock D’Or Grand Prix for best picture at the Dinard film festival earlier this month, will direct both projects. He is also co-writing the screenplay for A Gift From The Culture with White Lightnin’ writer Shane Smith.
