About me

I am a freelance Writer/Director working in Film, Television and Theatre. I began writing for the stage and was invited on to The Royal Court Young Writers Program where I developed my first two playa Hours 'til Autumn and Firefly Heartbeat. Both of which went on to receive highly favourable reviews.

Since then, I have gone on to write television pilots and feature films (including the award-winning Fear of Water) and currently have two more films in pre-production. I shall be making my directorial debut next year with my feature film, Precipice.
Referees:
Kate Lane
Director/Producer

"I have spent a year working with Eddy on a feature film script that has now attracted great interest and will be going into production next summer. It has been an extremely rewarding and stimulating process and I couldn't have asked him to give any more. From the very first meeting Eddy took a loose idea and has turned this into a 100 page script. A fully fledged story that is moving, engaging, powerful and insightful into the human condition. Eddy is a brilliant storyteller that writes each character with an individual voice and constructs scenes that draw the reader into both caring and finally satisfying. He is hardworking and has been thoroughly committed to the project always available to meet me on a regular basis and interpret my notes and enhance them. I am delighted to have him on board. His knowledge and enthusiasm goes far beyond the words on the page".

"As the producer on the untitled Kate Lane project (feature film) I have been working closely with Edward on script development. As well as being a great storyteller Edward is easy to work with...always understanding the concept of what is best for the project without losing his creativity...will I work with Edward again?...most definitely... a very talented man!"

I have had the pleasure of consulting with Edward Davenport on a number of his feature scripts and he is a standout writer in every way. His writing is nuanced, complex and mature - something highly unusual to find these days. I lived and worked in Hollywood for over a decade and worked with writers on every level. Rarely did I come across a writer as gifted and with as much promise as Edward.
