Discovered whilst arguing with her boyfriend in a train station, Katie Jarvis went on to play the role of Mia in Andrea Arnold’s critically acclaimed Fish Tank - and was the well deserved winner of the ‘Most Promising Newcomer’ award at the 2009 British Independent Film Awards.

Katie tells us how the award ‘means everything’ and that it will ‘give her the boost’ to carry on acting and achieve her dreams. She also, rather humbly, tells us that she never thought she would win her category, which saw her up against Hilda Peter for Katalin Varga, Christian McKay for Me and Orson Welles, George McKay for The Boys are Back and Edward Hogg for White Lightnin’.
