SEAN LUCKETT
MA Scriptwriting
BA (hons) Journalism
After living and working abroad throughout my 20’s I returned to the UK, and higher education, in 2000. Following my degree I began my journalism career in radio, a fulfilling if frugal existence.
I have since moved into television and completed the junior researcher course at Top TV before gaining work experience and then paid work.
In 2008 I began a Masters in scriptwriting and have produced a radio play, television pilots and a film script, all of which have had interest from a variety of producers and companies.
I am currently writing a drama for Lime Pictures, producers of ‘Hollyoaks’ and ‘Apparitions’.
