His debut screenplay, the widely acclaimed "The Theory Of Flight", co-produced by the BBC and Miramax, was brought to life by the accomplished director Paul Greengrass, known for his work on "Bourne Ultimatum" and "Captain Philips". This critically acclaimed film starred the talented Kenneth Branagh and Helena Bonham Carter, and had the honor of opening the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival.
Throughout the production of "The Theory Of Flight", Hawkins had the privilege of working closely with the renowned director Paul Greengrass, further refining his directorial skills.
