MERMAN RECEIVES 3 BAFTA NOMINATIONS
Our Clients' - Jeremy Rainbird and Sharon Horgan - work nominated for BAFTA!
"In the BAFTA Television Craft Awards Aisling Bea has been nominated for the Breakthrough Talent Award for her work as the writer on This Way Up. This Way Up was created by and stars Aisling Bea. It is a comedy about moving on, moving forward and trying to find happiness. Aine, played by writer Aisling Bea, is a whip smart English-as-a-foreign language (TEFL) teacher trying to pull her life back together after a “teeny little nervous breakdown” as her sister Shona, played by Sharon Horgan, worries, not only about her younger sibling, but also about her own life choices. The TEFL school where Aine teaches brings together a room full of characters also trying to find their own hope, direction and happiness in this messy world. Happiness is a destination we all want to reach, but how we get there is never easy. This Way Up is a pin-sharp, poignant comedy which, with warmth and keen-edged wit, shows that the journey to happiness is harder for some than others. This Way Up aired on Channel 4 in the UK and Hulu in the US. It is still available on All4 in the UK, Hulu in the US and BritBox in the US and Canada. This Way Up was directed by Alex Winckler, produced by Gavin O’Grady and the executive producers were Clelia Mountford, Sharon Horgan and Aisling Bea. The series has also been nominated for Comedy Series: English Language in the 2020 Rockie Awards, Aisling Bea was nominated for the Breakthrough Award in the 2020 RTS Programme Awards and director Alex Winckler was nominated for Best Director – Comedy Drama/Situation Comedy in the 2019 RTS Craft & Design Awards.
In the BAFTA Television Awards Sarah Kendall has been nominated for Female Performance in a Comedy Series for Frayed. Frayed was created by and stars Sarah Kendall. Set in 1989, Frayed follows the journey of Sammy Cooper, a fabulously wealthy London housewife who is forced to return to the town in Australia she grew up in. In coming home, Sammy must revisit her past and the events that led her to flee as a teenager years ago. Painfully funny and sometimes dark, Frayed is full of complex characters, dubious decisions, and unfortunate events; and at its heart is the journey of one flawed family confronting their secrets and trying to find a way back. Frayed aired on Sky One and ABC Australia. The entire series is still available to watch on NOW TV in the UK and will be available on HBO Max in the US from 30th July. Frayed was directed by Shaun Wilson & Jennifer Leacey, produced by Nicole O’Donohue and the executive producers were Clelia Mountford, Sharon Horgan, Rick Kalowski, Que Minh Luu, Kevin Whyte & Morwenna Gordon. Sarah Kendall also serves as an associate producer. The series was also nominated for 5 2019 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards, including Best Comedy Programme.
Also in the BAFTA Television Awards Catastrophe has been nominated for Scripted Comedy. Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan write and star in this comedy that follows an American man and an Irish woman who make a bloody mess as they struggle to fall in love in London. Scorching chemistry, instant pregnancy, and genuine disaster provide the foundation for the flaming hovel of a relationship between Rob and Sharon. Carrie Fisher, Ashley Jensen, and Mark Bonnar play supporting characters in the series. The fourth and final series of Catastrophe aired from January 2019 on Channel 4. All series are still available to watch on All4 in the UK and Amazon Prime in the UK and US.

The E2 Investor Visa is intended at least in part to provide a way for individuals from Treaty Countries to facilitate economic growth in the US. That is an important phrase and something to always keep in mind when looking at the requirements. The bulk of the requirements is intended to prove that the E2 Investor Visa applicant will run a business to do just that. While the list of requirements for an E2 Visa is very specific and all must be met, showing the US Government that an applicant has met all requirements is subject to a great amount of judgment. The US Immigration Officials seek to be fair, flexible, and uniform when adjudicating an E2 Investor Visa application. Make no mistake. The burden of proof is with the applicant, and the judgment of the US Immigration Official reviewing the application rises above all else. If the Immigration Official is in any way uncertain as to the applicant’s qualifications, then they can request whatever document they want until the uncertainty is resolved. The key to a successful E2 Investor Visa application is to understand or employ someone who does all of the requirements and how to prove the applicant meets them.
